== Name
ruby-build - Download, compile, and install a version of Ruby
== Synopsis
ruby-build [-kpv] _<definition>_ _<prefix>_ [-- _<configure-args>_...] +
ruby-build {--list|--definitions} +
ruby-build --version
== Description
ruby-build downloads, compiles, and installs a Ruby version named by the
_definition_ argument into the location specified by _prefix_.
The _definition_ argument can be a path to a file on disk, in which case
it is sourced into ruby-build as a bash script.
Optionally, extra Ruby _configure-args_ may be listed after "--" and
will get forwarded to the `./configure` invocation.
By default, all compile output is redirected to a log file at
`$TMPDIR/ruby-build.*.log`. Activate the verbose mode to skip the log file
and print everything to standard streams.
== Options
*-l, --list*::
List latest stable releases for each Ruby
*--definitions*::
List all local definitions, including outdated ones
*--version*::
Show version of ruby-build
*-v, --verbose*::
Verbose mode: forward all build output to stdout/stderr
*-p, --patch*::
Apply a patch from stdin before building
*-k, --keep*::
Do not remove source tree after installation
*-4, --ipv4*::
Resolve names to IPv4 addresses only
*-6, --ipv6*::
Resolve names to IPv6 addresses only
== Examples
Install Ruby version 3.2.2 under `/opt/rubies` while tweaking some
configuration options:
----
$ ruby-build 3.2.2 /opt/rubies/ruby-3.2.2 -- --disable-install-doc --with-openssl-dir=/opt/openssl
