Installing Ruby with RVM on Alpine Linux

+

2023-03-16

+

For some on-going projects I need to switch to different versions of ruby. Although there exist many step-by-step instructions on installing and configuring rvm for most Linux distros, there aren't many focused on Alpine "daily drivers".

+

So this post is more or less a helpful document for my future self. If it happens to help others then that's an added bonus!

+

Simple Setup

+

Make sure you have the basic packages first:

+
apk update
+apk add curl gcc gnupg gpg dirmngr procps musl-dev linux-headers zlib zlib-dev openssl openssl-dev libssl1.1
+
+

Next download the latest stable version of rvm from Github, unpack it, place it in the proper user directory (~/.rvm) and install any required libs:

+
curl -sSL https://github.com/rvm/rvm/tarball/stable -o rvm-stable.tar.gz
+echo 'export rvm_prefix="$HOME"' > ~/.rvmrc
+echo 'export rvm_path="$HOME/.rvm"' >> ~/.rvmrc
+mkdir rvm && cd rvm
+tar --strip-components=1 -xzf ../rvm-stable.tar.gz
+./install --auto-dotfiles --autolibs=0
+
+

Now we can remove everything and properly link to rvm:

+
cd ../ && rm -rf rvm-stable stable.tar.gz rvm
+source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
+
+

Now you can freely install any version of Ruby that you desire!

+
rvm install ruby-X.X.X
