# yum install gcc-c++ patch readline readline-devel zlib zlib-devel \ libyaml-devel libffi-devel openssl-devel make \ bzip2 autoconf automake libtool bison iconv-devel sqlite-devel

Step 2: Install RVM

# curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg2 --import - # curl -sSL https://rvm.io/pkuczynski.asc | gpg2 --import - # curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stabl

Also, run the following command to load the RVM environment.

# source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh # rvm reload

After that, use the rvm command to set the default Ruby version to be used by the application.

# rvm use 2.6 --default Using /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.6.0

Step 6: Verify current Ruby version

Using the following command, you can check the Ruby version currently in use.
