ruby-install VS ruby-build

Let’s get started. I prefer to manage my Ruby installations on my development machine with chruby paired with ruby-install. Another outstanding set of tools is rbenv with ruby-build. I highly recommend installing Ruby with one of those two sets of tools. Follow the instructions on their project’s READMEs. For this article, I’ll be running Ruby (MRI) v3.3.0.

Use the ruby-install tool for this. https://github.com/postmodern/ruby-install

Anyone have ideas on what the issue is? The closest error message I found searching online was linked to this post which I'm not sure is exactly the same since their error message is on a different line (line 9 vs 14) and doesn't mention openssl like my error message does.

Another option would be to use ruby-install to manually install your desired Ruby version to somewhere on your path. The downside here is that you lose the ability to switch between Rubies. This type of installation would allow you to set $GEM_HOME and $GEM_PATH however you like though.

you may need to browse some issues like this one https://github.com/postmodern/ruby-install/issues/399

I use https://github.com/postmodern/ruby-install along with https://github.com/postmodern/chruby

ruby-install 0.8.3 has been released. This version explicitly pins the homebrew openssl dependency to [email protected]. OpenSSL 3.0 was released this month and is now available in homebrew. Unfortunately, ruby’s openssl bindings are still working on OpenSSL 3.0 support, so attempting to compile any current ruby version against OpenSSL 3.0 from homebrew will result in a compilation error. Until all actively supported versions of Ruby support OpenSSL 3.0, ruby-install will continue to compile against [email protected] on macOS with homebrew.

Seems someone was able to fix your problem with openssl installed from linuxbrew, see herehttps://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/discussions/2199

Great! Already available via ruby-build on rbenv!

I'm using rbenv to manage Ruby versions, and it turns out they recently started building Ruby with OpenSSL 3.0 instead of OpenSSL 1.1.

ruby-build Wiki is good to learn.
