Is there any to install rbenv offline?

I am trying to install rbenv without the internet. Unlike RVM which has a whole page dedicated to offline installation, I could not find anything similar to that for rbenv.

Is there any way to install it offline? Also a way to add different versions of Ruby to it without going online (like RVM , you add the tar.bz2 of the Ruby version to $rvm_path/archives)

Thanks

  • Is there any way to install it offline?

    Installation simply consists of unpacking the rbenv distribution into a directory and editing a few files. Neither of the two tasks requires you to go online.

    rbenv only manages Rubies that have already been installed, and all it needs to know for that is the directory they are installed in. Again, no need to go online.
