Ruby 1.9.2 keeps reverting back to 1.8.7 after installing it using RVM

Question

I installed Ruby 1.9.2. I used rvm use 1.9.2 and then when I type ruby -v it says 1.9.2. Then when I quit terminal and reopen it, it says 1.8.7 aga

Answer 1

Your default ruby is most likely not set to ruby 1.9.2. Try:

rvm --default use 1.9.2

Also if you want to see all ruby versions installed, you can run 'rvm list'. The default ruby is prefixed with a => symbol, as shown below.

$ rvm list

rvm rubies

   ruby-1.9.1-p243 [ x86_64 ]
=> ruby-1.9.2-p136 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-1.9.2-p180 [ x86_64 ]
