Use Ruby 1.9.3 on Cloud9 IDE

gistfile1.txt

**Cloud9 now has rvm, so you can switch easily (`rvm use X`), no need for this gist anymore**

# first thing to do is to get your VM's GUID
# do a 'pwd' in the console and grab the part after /var/lib/stickshift
# -> replace all GUID calls in this file :-)

create file: .gemrc

install: --no-rdoc --no-ri
update: --no-rdoc --no-ri
gemhome: /var/lib/stickshift/GUID/app-root/data/.gems
gempath: 
    - /var/lib/stickshift/GUID/app-root/data/gems/1.8

cp .gemrc ../

# install rvm
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

# so this needs to be done every time apparently, add it to bashrc or something
# RUN IT IN TERMINAL! (Open via ALT+T)
source /var/lib/stickshift/GUID/app-root/data/.rvm/scripts/rvm
echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bash_profile

rvm use 1.9.3

ruby --version
ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-linux]                                             

Ruby is now in ~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/ruby in case you want to run it that way


# add to ~/.bashrc
source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm
echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bash_profile
rvm use 1.9.3

@bm5k: Just tried it, seems to work for me. You may have to run autoreconf -ivf first.

Can all instances of /var/lib/stickshift/GUID/app-root/data/ be safely replaced with $HOME in the script above?

Yeah pretty sure.
