I finally got RVM working and now I would like RVM to install the latest stable ruby version.

In the tutorial I am using they installed ruby 1.9.3 with command :

rvm install 1.9.3

Now I want to know if there is a command to download the latest stable version, or do I have to check latest stable version and download it like that, or else, can I download any old version and run an upgrade?

Normally I would try out everything, but I am working on a new server and I am trying to set it up as clean as I can :)

you can install latest rvm and ruby by :

$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

and check all the ruby version with stability

$ rvm list known

can also check details here : http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/

$ rvm install ruby 2.0.0-p247

Use when you want to download specific version or know this is stable.

This command will help you to install latest stable version of Ruby using RVM.

rvm get stable

To install the latest stable Ruby version you need to run:

rvm install ruby --latest

This command will install the latest stable version of Ruby after updating RVM.
