# rbenv-alternatives

This plugin allow you to add Ruby interpreters available through the Debian

alternatives system into rbenv. This means you can install the different Ruby

interpreters through APT on Debian and derivative distributions, and switch

between them using rbenv.

The Ruby interpreters installed via APT will become available to use with rbenv

in addition to any other Ruby interpreter you may have installed into

`~/.rbenv/versions` in any other way.

This plugin also install hooks that configure Rubygems to install gems inside

~/.rbenv/${version}/gems. This way you get completely separated Ruby

environments.

## Installation

If you have installed rbenv from source into ~/.rbenv, just create a symbolic

link to where you downloaded this plugin inside ~/.rbenv/plugins:

    $ mkdir ~/.rbenv/plugins

    $ ln -s /path/to/rbenv-alternatives ~/.rbenv/plugins

If you install rbenv through APT, then it will already bring this plugin with

it:

    # apt-get install rbenv

## Usage

    $ rbenv alternatives

    $ rbenv versions

      1.8.7-debian

      1.9.2-debian

    $ rbenv global 1.9.2-debian

    $ rbenv version

    1.9.2-debian (set by /home/terceiro/.rbenv/global)

    $ ruby -v

    ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [x86_64-linux]

Whenever you install a new Ruby interpreter, or uninstall a previously

installed one, just run `rbenv alternatives` again and it will update your

list of Debian-provided Ruby interpreters with rbenv.
