## Switch your Rubies
# If you have a default Ruby you want to use, change it with the following command.
rvm --default use 1.9.2
# To use – for example – the newly installed 1.8.7-head version, just type:
rvm use 1.8.7-head
# To switch back to the system's default Ruby (e.g. OS X), type:
rvm use system
# You can also reset RVM to use the system Ruby again. This will somewhat disable RVM:
rvm reset
