How would you recommend going about doing this? You can install Ruby anywhere by getting the source code and running something like: ./configure --prefix=/your/favorite/directory make make install Then, you should make sure that the right version is used when running your project. Make sure that: * this install of ruby is in the $PATH * your scripts include the full path to your ruby executable in the #!... line Is that what you were looking for ?
