Superbeginner who can't figure out how to install brew or git
I have an early 2011 MacOS with High Sierra 10.13.6. I am attempting to learn from The Odin Project. I have installed XCode and have an account. I went to this link: https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew to download TigerBrew, thinking my old computer would support it. I used this link as instructed: https://raw.github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew/go/install

horrible programmer with no trans friends…
I'm not a Mac user either, unfortunately, so I don't know how much help I can be with getting things set up. I found something called tigerbrew that might be relevant?

Install Ruby on Mac without Homebrew?
pkgsrc also runs on other platforms, like NetBSD and illumos, so it has a better chance to work on old versions of macOS. Around 2018, I put pkgsrc on an old PowerPC Mac running the obsolete Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and built a few packages. (I didn't use Joyent's Intel packages, and I didn't know the PowerPC packages at http://sevan.mit.edu/. I also didn't know Tigerbrew.)

iBook G4 programming ideas
I use Tigerbrew for this. It also supports 10.4 and 10.5. You'll also need a copy of XCode (I used version 2.5 on my Leopard install) to install pretty much anything.

Test Driving a Rails API - Part One
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.

Having issues installing Ruby
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.

cocoapods - `pod setup` failing on `require active_support/core_ext/string/strip` which is installed.
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.

ruby-install 0.8.3 has been released
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.
