Setup Ruby with RVM

Install RVM

Let’s install RVM first:

Terminal window
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

To load RVM without restarting terminal:

Terminal window
source ${HOME}/.rvm/scripts/rvm

Install Ruby

Based on Ruby’s site, the current version is 3.4.2.

Terminal window
rvm install 3.4.2
rvm use 3.4.2

Install Bundler

Terminal window
gem install bundler
gem update --system 3.6.5

Install Jekyll

Let’s install Jekyll and github-pages.

Terminal window
gem install jekyll
gem install github-pages

Add csv and logger gem to Gemfile for newer Ruby. NOTE: I also removed one of the multiple lines of gem jekyll-github-metadata.
