El Capitan Ruby binaries installation issue


Just trying to get through some parts of the Hartl rails tutorial to familiarize myself with the rails framework. I have homebrew installed (removed and reinstalled it because it giving me trouble after using El Capitan), and got a fresh version of rvm with rvm get stable

I went into the directory containing the project, and I got this message

ruby-2.3.0-dev is not installed.
To install do: 'rvm install ruby-2.3.0-dev'

Previously, I'd tried using 2.3.0 as the latest version (it was the newest thing showing up when I ran rvm list, not sure why), but now I want to change that to 2.3.1. Anybody know how I can change the ruby version for this project?

Additionally, when I run rvm install ruby-2.3.1 , I get this error

No binary rubies available for: osx/10.11/x86_64/ruby-2.3.1.

This led me to trying to reinstall homebrew, update my version of rvm, etc. I tried all of that and am still getting this error message.

The whole reason this happened is because I tried executing a test with

$ bundle exec rake test

I got this message

RubyDep: WARNING: Your Ruby is outdated/buggy. (To disable warnings, set RUBY_DEP_GEM_SILENCE_WARNINGS=1)
RubyDep: WARNING: Your Ruby is: 2.3.0 (buggy). Recommendation: install 2.3.1.

Haven't been able to install 2.3.1 and I'm just losing my mind here.

edit - Does one recommend installing directly from source instead of using binaries?


Solution

  • I've reproduced your steps in my Mac laptop running OS X El Capitan. Executing the command rvm install 2.3.1 I got the same error as you, but after that rvm kept on executing the command and eventually downloaded and installed the binaries of Ruby 2.3.1. My output was like this:

    Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
    No binary rubies available for: osx/10.11/x86_64/ruby-2.3.1.
    Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
    Checking requirements for osx.
    Certificates in '/usr/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem' are already up to date.
    Requirements installation successful.

    Install of ruby-2.3.1 - #complete
    Ruby was built without documentation, to build it run: rvm docs generate-ri
    

    After that I executed rvm use 2.3.1 and ruby -v and the output of the last command was:

    ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [x86_64-darwin15]
    

    So I could successfully install Ruby 2.3.1 on Mac OS X El Capitan. Please provide further information if this cannot help solving your problem.
