My environment is currently using ruby version 2.2.1, but I have installed ruby 2.2.4, but I am not sure how to get my system to use it. Does anyone know how to actually have this version replace 2.2.1 in all my apps?
I did sudo apt-get install ruby -v 2.2.4, but all it did was install it somehwere, it did not actually replace 2.2.1 with 2.2.4, i.e., when I use ruby -v it gives me 2.2.1

Courses Plus Student 447 PointsHi Zakry,
Start using RVM. It's really the best way to ensure correct functionality now and in the future, or even if you actually need a lot of different versions.
Check http://tecadmin.net/install-ruby-on-rails-on-ubuntu/ for a very clear, step by step documentation how to set it up on Ubuntu (and other distro's).
