+title: "Installing Ruby with RVM on Alpine Linux"
+date: 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
+
+
+**Note**: If you plan to work with `bundler` be sure to do the following before installing ruby versions via `rvm`:
+
+
+    rvm pkg install openssl
+    rvm pkg install libyaml
+
+
+Now you can freely install any version of Ruby that you desire!
+
+
+    rvm install ruby-X.X.X
+
