Where is ruby stored on mac?

I am looking for a path of where ruby gets stored on mac?

I installed macruby on my mac and I am trying to see where it got installed. I want to include the path of macruby in my ruby script. When I do rvm list, I get:

=> macruby-0.12 [ i686 ]
 * ruby-1.9.3-p545 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-2.1.1 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-2.1.2 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-2.1.2-version [ x86_64 ]

I use #!/usr/local/bin/macruby in my ruby script, but looks like macruby is not present in that location. When I execute "whereis ruby" command on I get back "/usr/bin/ruby", but when I execute "whereis ruby-1.9.3-p545" or "whereis macruby-0.12" I get nothing.

How do I find the path of where does all these ruby versions lie?

Solution

  • You can get the path to the local executable with

    $ which ruby

    the rvm rubies are in your rvm directory, which I believe is ~/.rvm/rubies (I use rbenv so not sure about the details)

    The which command should pickup whatever shims/other magic RVM is using to set your shell ruby
