Couldn't find package ruby1.9.3

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and was trying to install the latest version of Ruby, 1.9.3. However, the command

sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.3

returns "Couldn't find package ruby1.9.3".

I'm not sure why that is, since it worked with ruby1.9.1.

Solution

  • The best (at least easier) way to install Ruby in Ubuntu is to install RVM (Ruby Version Manager).

    There is a very good and simple guide written by Ryann Bigg available on his blog. Just follow each step and it should work!
