I install ruby via rbenv-installer.
When I use irb console, I can use history by pressing up and down on keyboard. And when I exited from console and start it again
I found this way for solving my problem. In file ~/.irbrc write:
require 'irb/ext/save-history' #History configuration IRB.conf[:SAVE_HISTORY] = 100 IRB.conf[:HISTORY_FILE] = "#{ENV['HOME']}/.irb-save-history"
Found in this question: irb history not working
