Ways of Installing Ruby

We have several tools on each major platform to install Ruby:

• On Linux/UNIX, you can use the package management system of yourdistribution or third-party tools (rbenv and RVM).
• On macOS machines, you can use third-party tools (rbenv and RVM).
• On Windows machines, you can use RubyInstaller.

See the Installation page for details on usingpackage management systems or third-party tools.

Of course, you can also install Ruby from source on all major platforms.

Compiling Ruby — Source Code

Installing from the source code is a great solution for when you arecomfortable enough with your platform and perhaps need specific settingsfor your environment. It’s also a good solution in the event that thereare no other premade packages for your platform.

See the Installation page for details on buildingRuby from source. If you have an issue compiling Ruby, consider usingone of the third party tools mentioned above. They may help you.

How to get updates for macOS Mojave or later

If you've upgraded to macOS Mojave or later, follow these steps to keep it up to date:

Ruby For Mac Os X

1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu , then click Software Update to check for updates.
   
2. If any updates are available, click the Update Now button to install them. Or click ”More info” to see details about each update and select specific updates to install.
   
3. When Software Update says that your Mac is up to date, the installed version of macOS and all of its apps are also up to date. That includes Safari, iTunes, Books, Messages, Mail, Calendar, Photos, and FaceTime.

To find updates for iMovie, Garageband, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and other apps that were downloaded separately from the App Store, open the App Store on your Mac, then click the Updates tab.

To automatically install macOS updates in the future, including apps that were downloaded separately from the App Store, select ”Automatically keep my Mac up to date.” Your Mac will notify you when updates require it to restart, so you can always choose to install those later.

How to get updates for earlier macOS versions

If you're using an earlier macOS, such as macOS High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, or earlier,* follow these steps to keep it up to date:

1. Open the App Store app on your Mac.
2. Click Updates in the App Store toolbar.
3. Use the Update buttons to download and install any updates listed.
4. When the App Store shows no more updates, the installed version of macOS and all of its apps are up to date. That includes Safari, iTunes, iBooks, Messages, Mail, Calendar, Photos, and FaceTime. Later versions may be available by upgrading your macOS.

To automatically download updates in the future, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click App Store, then select ”Download newly available updates in the background.” Your Mac will notify you when updates are ready to install.
