RUBY VERSION MANAGER (RVM)

RVM is a command-line tool which allows you to easily install, manage, and work
with multiple ruby environments from interpreters to sets of gems.


CUT RUBIES WITH EASE!

 * Install GPG keys:
   
   gpg2 --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB
   
   In case you encounter an issues or want to know more, check security
 * Install RVM:
   
   \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

 * For installing RVM with default Ruby and Rails in one command, run:
   
   \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails

 * For more details and troubleshooting visit the installation documentation,
 * and read about the new autolib features
 * watch the most accurate (but not official) rvm screencast
 * read the most accurate (but not official) rvm cheat sheet
 * starting with Rails? watch the RailsCasts.com on Getting Started with Rails

COMMUNITY MAINTAINED PROJECT

RVM is maintained and supported by the community via issue trackers and pull
requests:

 * on each project in RVM Github organization,
 * especially RVM project issues tracker.




PRODUCTION

RVM lets you deploy each project with its own completely self-contained and
dedicated environment, from the specific version of ruby, all the way down to
the precise set of required gems to run your application. Having a precise set
of gems also avoids the issue of version conflicts between projects, which can
cause difficult-to-trace errors and hours of hair loss. With RVM, NO OTHER GEMS
than those required are installed. This makes working with multiple complex
applications, where each has a long list of gem dependencies, much more
efficient. RVM lets you easily test gem upgrades, by switching to a new clean
set of gems to test with, while leaving your original set intact. It is flexible
enough to even let you maintain a set of gems per environment, or per
development branch, or even per individual developer's taste!


DEVELOPMENT

RVM reduces the complexity of the many facets of ruby development through its
command-line API. With RVM, you can have **identical** self-contained
environments in your Development, CI, Q/A, Staging, and Production environments.
No more hidden gotchas: if it works for one of them, it will work in all of
them. With named gemsets, you can reliably and immediately push changes from one
environment to another. And, RVM is for Ruby applications, *not just for Rails*!
Any Ruby based application will benefit from your use of RVM.


TESTING

RVM enables you to easily test both upgrade and escape paths very easily and
consistently. With RVM, you can run a test suite, rake tasks, benchmarks and gem
commands against multiple ruby versions at the same time. This means that you
can easily ensure your applications work in Ruby 1.8.X, REE, MRI 1.9.1, jruby,
etc... and quickly expose any areas in which they do not.


GEM MANAGEMENT

RVM has an extremely flexible gem management system called Named Gem Sets. RVM's
'gemsets' make managing gems across multiple versions of Ruby a non-issue. RVM
lets you add a small text file to your application's repository, instead of
checking in tons of gems which would needlessly inflate your repository size.
Additionally, RVM's gemset management uses a common cache directory, so only one
downloaded version of each gem resides on disk rather than several copies.

RVM helps ensure that all aspects of Ruby are completely contained within user
space, strongly encouraging safer, non-root use. Use of RVM rubies thus provides
a higher level of system security, and therefore reduces risk and cuts overall
system downtime. Additionally, since all processes run at the user level, a
compromised ruby process cannot compromise the entire system.


SUPPORT

RVM is continuously evolving, thanks to community pull requests to the project.
