Courses Plus Student 55,489 PointsNot able to upgrade to Ruby 2.2.2 using rbenv
I currently have ruby 2.1.2p95 installed on my mac. I am using the latest version of homebrew and I have rbenv 0.4.0 installed and I am using the ruby-build plugin. I tried to upgrade to ruby 2.2.2, however when I run the command I get the following error message:
ruby-build: definition not found: 2.2.2
The following versions contain `2.2.2' in the name:
rbx-2.2.2
rbx-2.2.2
I tried to update ruby-build but got another error saying

Any ideas on what is wrong and what the best solution would be to upgrade?

28,888 PointsYou probably need to upgrade your version of rbenv to get the latest list of available Rubies
If you've installed rbenv manually using git, you can upgrade your installation to the cutting-edge version at any time.
$ cd ~/.rbenv
$ git pull
If you've installed via Homebrew, then upgrade via its brew command:
$ brew update
$ brew upgrade rbenv ruby-build

Courses Plus Student 55,489 PointsHi,
thanks very much for trying to help.
I have tried to update, but get a replay that rbenv is already up to date. Not sure what is going on.

28,888 PointsWhat about manually updating the ruby-build plugin by going into ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build and running git pull?
ruby-build --version returns ruby-build 20150928 for me.
This would only work if you installed it manually. If you're using homebrew then you should be able to run brew upgrade ruby-build individually.
I apologize, I needed to read through your issue again since I know you've tried several things already.
