Older Ruby Version Showing After Installing Latest One

I am following the instructions on GoRails to install Ruby & Rails on my system. After following the instructions for installing Ruby using rbenv, I verified the ruby version is 2.1.3.

However, upon opening a new terminal the ruby version defaults back to 2.0.0 unless I execute rbenv global 2.1.3.

Could someone please explain how I can have this rectified?

Solution

  • Try doing the following

    echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.zshrc

    Then open a new shell.

    The tutorial you used assumed your shell was bash, but you are using zsh. You need to modify .zshrc instead of .bash_profile.
