Ruby (original) (raw)
CRuby, also known as MRI (Matz's Ruby Implementation), is the defacto Ruby and sets the standards for other Ruby implementations. CRuby can be installed with tools like ruby-install and ruby-build or Ruby requirements can be manually installed and Ruby can be built from source as shown below.

Note: macOS users must properly specify ./configure --with-openssl-dir=... --with-opt-dir=... to compile Ruby against Homebrew's packages:
curl https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/3.4/ruby-3.4.2.tar.xz | tar -x
cd ruby-3.4.2
./configure \
--prefix="$HOME/.rubies/ruby-3.4.2" \
--with-gmp-dir="$(brew --prefix gmp)" \
--with-libyaml-dir="$(brew --prefix libyaml)" \
--with-openssl-dir="$(brew --prefix openssl)" \
--with-readline-dir="$(brew --prefix readline)" \
--with-zlib-dir="$(brew --prefix zlib)" \
--with-opt-dir="$(brew --prefix jemalloc)" \
--with-jemalloc
