Dear all, How are you? I hope all is well with you. Sometime ago I was recommended to use rbenv script (https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv) to manage multiple installations and versions of Ruby. I followed that advice and have no problems since then. You just need to set it up properly. Read the installation guide on the GitHub page. I hope it helps you. Thank you and have a wonderful day ahead!
