RVM Alternatives

We have two tiers of RVM alternatives :

tier 1

Here we have the inception of the minimalistic, one thing and do it well tool with no magic, following the UNIX philosophy.

Use rbenv to pick a Ruby version for your application and guarantee that your development environment matches production. Put rbenv to work with Bundler for painless Ruby upgrades and bulletproof deployments. [0]

ruby-build is an rbenv plugin that provides an rbenv install command to compile and install different versions of Ruby on UNIX-like systems. [1]

tier 2

Even more focused and simpler tools.

with Anti-Features : Does not hook cd. Does not install executable shims. Does not require Rubies be installed into your home directory. etc. [0]

with Anti-Features : Does not require updating every time a new Ruby version comes out. and Does not require recipes for each individual Ruby version or configuration.

Also, there is bkabrda/rubypick . Fedora Linux 19 uses it to switch between ruby-mri and jruby
