rbenv install --list does not list version 2.1.2

I installed rbenv via Homebrew on an OS X 10.9.3 MacBook Pro:

brew update
brew upgrade rbenv ruby-build

According to rbenv install --list on my laptop Ruby 2.1.0-dev is the latest.

Solution

  • Both rbenv and ruby-build are generally installed from Github by cloning; That's how the authors recommend we install it. 

    git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build

    If you didn't do it that way I'd recommend that method. Then, you can simply do:

    cd ~/.rbenv
git pull
cd plugins/ruby-build
git pull

    If you have several plugins use:

    cd plugins
for i in *
do
  cd $i
  git pull
  cd -
done

    I update every couple weeks just to pull in the latest fixes/changes.
