+# ruby-build
+
+ruby-build provides a simple way to build and install different
+versions of Ruby on UNIX-based systems.
+
+### Installing ruby-build
+
+    $ git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git
+    $ cd ruby-build
+    $ ./install.sh
+
+This will install ruby-build into `/usr/local`. If you do not have
+write permission to `/usr/local`, you will need to run `sudo
+./install.sh` instead. You can install to a different prefix by
+setting the `PREFIX` environment variable.
+
+### Installing Ruby
+
+To install a Ruby version, run the `ruby-build` command with the path
+to a definition file and the path where you want to install it. (A
+number of [built-in
+definitions](https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build/tree/master/share/ruby-build)
+may be specified instead.)
+
+    $ ruby-build 1.9.2-p290 ~/local/ruby-1.9.2-p290
