## Switch from RVM to rbenv:
##### Get Rid of RVM if it's installed:
```rvm implode```
##### Cleanup your .bash_profile/.bashrc/.zshrc file to remove RVM from the path:
You should have something like this left from RVM. Delete it from the file.
``[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"```
---
##### Ensure your homebrew is working properly and up to date:
```
brew doctor
brew update
```
---
##### Install Rbenv via homebrew:
```
brew install rbenv
brew install ruby-build
```
##### Add ~/.rbenv/bin to your $PATH for access to the rbenv command-line utility:
Afterwards you'll still need to run `rbenv init`. You'll only ever have to do this once.
> (NOTE: Zsh note: Modify your ~/.zshrc file instead of ~/.bash_profile.)
##### Restart your shell so that PATH changes take effect!
(Opening a new terminal tab will usually do it.)
Now check if rbenv was set up by typing `rbenv` into the terminal.
You should see something like this:
```
rbenv 0.4.0
Usage: rbenv <command> [<args>]
Some useful rbenv commands are:
commands List all available rbenv commands
local Set or show the local application-specific Ruby version
global Set or show the global Ruby version
shell Set or show the shell-specific Ruby version
install Install a Ruby version using ruby-build
uninstall Uninstall a specific Ruby version
rehash Rehash rbenv shims (run this after installing executables)
version Show the current Ruby version and its origin
versions List all Ruby versions available to rbenv
which Display the full path to an executable
whence List all Ruby versions that contain the given executable
See `rbenv help <command>' for information on a specific command.
For full documentation, see: https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv#readme
```
Yay, works!

### Using rbenv:
##### To see a list of available Ruby versions for install:
```
rbenv install -l
```
> PRO-TIP: Don't see the ruby version listed you are looking for (aka specified in your gemfile?)? Then you probably are due for a brew update!
`brew update` & `brew upgrade ruby-build`
##### Check the Ruby versions list again...
```
rbenv install -l
```
##### To install a ruby version:
```
rbenv install 2.3.0
```
##### Before you can bundle and install gems, add bundler:
```
gem install bundler
```
##### Then you can bundle & install all the gems in the gemfile!
```
cd your-project-folder
bundle install
```
##### Set a project specific (local) ruby version:
```
cd your-project-folder
rbenv local 2.3.0
```
