README
Mineshaft
Inspired by PyPA's Virtualenv, Mineshaft allows for the creation of isolated Ruby virtual environments. It aims to simplify the process of installing and using multiple versions of Ruby.
Installation
Mineshaft is a Ruby gem, so you will need a working Ruby environment to use it.
gem install mineshaft
To build Ruby environments that are able to download gems from RubyGems, you will also need to install OpenSSL. You can install OpenSSL on MacOS via Homebrew.
MacOS
brew install openssl
RHEL / CentOS / Amazon Linux
yum group install "Development Tools"
yum install openssl-devel
Usage
Creating a Virtual Environment
Create a new environment and install the latest stable version of Ruby.
ms new env
To specify a particular version of Ruby, add the version number after the env name
ms new env 2.6.0
To use the new environment, you must activate it using the activate.sh script.
source env/bin/activate.sh
Installing Globally
You can install a Ruby environment globally by running the following command. Specify the version of Ruby after the install keyword. This will replace your current system wide Ruby for the user running Mineshaft.
ms install 2.6.0
To view all globally installed Rubies
ms env
Reloading Binaries
When you install a gem that has a binary associated with it, you will need to reload your global Ruby bin directory.
ms reload
Switching Between Global Environments
To switch between environments, use the use keyword followed by a version of Ruby installed on your machine.
ms use 2.6.0
Development Resources
Running Tests
There is rake test defined to run the test suite. rspec ~> 3.4 must be installed as a development dependency prior to running tests.
rake test
