Installation

Note: MRI requires OpenSSL >= 1.0.1.

wget https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/3.2/ruby-3.2.0.tar.xz
tar -xJvf ruby-3.2.0.tar.xz
cd ruby-3.2.0
./configure --prefix=/opt/rubies/ruby-3.2.0
make
sudo make install

Note: macOS users must update their OpenSSL CA cert bundle and properly set ./configure --with-opt-dir to compile against Homebrew's libraries:

curl --remote-name https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/3.2/ruby-3.2.0.tar.xz
tar -xJvf ruby-3.2.0.tar.xz
cd ruby-3.2.0
./configure --prefix="$HOME/.rubies/ruby-3.2.0" --with-opt-dir="$(brew --prefix openssl):$(brew --prefix readline):$(brew --prefix libyaml):$(brew --prefix gdbm):$(brew --prefix libffi)"
make -j4
make install
