Is there any advantages of installing rvm system-wide as opposed to just in the home directory of a user? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I hope you have gone through this : https://rvm.io/rvm/install . System wide RVM will let you use the same installation for all users on the system. But I''ve seen many junior devs screw up their dev environment by trying a system wide RVM installation but didn''t follow the instructions correctly. Single user installations look safer and less error prone to me. I like to have Single User RVM installations on my systems because I am more comfortable when I''m not sudo-ing too often :) On 17 July 2013 02:02, John Merlino <stoicism1-YDxpq3io04c@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Is there any advantages of installing rvm system-wide as opposed to just > in the home directory of a user? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to rubyonrails-talk+unsubscribe-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFF+G/Ez6ZCGd0@public.gmane.org > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFF+G/Ez6ZCGd0@public.gmane.org > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/rubyonrails-talk/0a7e0bb6-2e4c-44be-90e6-12099105d787%40googlegroups.com > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > >-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You shouldn''t be using sudo even with system-wide installs-- add yourself to the rvm group! I install single-user on my dev machine(s), but on my servers I always install system-wide and use a bundle deployment for my apps.

For example I prefer rbenv over RVM. That being said, if you''re the only user of the dev machine then I see no advantage of a system-wide install at all. Plus, I wouldn''t want to have to deal with another developer coming along and screwing up my dev environment. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
