Does Nitrous.io support JRuby?
Installing it with RVM seems to attempt to run a sudo apt-get update, which it won't allow...
Thanks.
First you will need to update RVM.
rvm get head
From there you can install jruby:
rvm install jruby
Next, set RVM to use jruby.
rvm use jruby
Next, add jruby to your PATH.
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jruby/bin
From there you should be able to check that jruby is working with the following command:
jruby --version
So, installing a jruby binary seems to work fine, but still cant figure out how to get RVM to do the install...
So, I just manually moved jruby into the .rvm folder...I put a copy of the binary in the .rvm/rubies directory, made a symlink from the binaries' "jruby" executable to a "ruby" executable in the .rvm/rubies bin folder, made related empty folders for jruby in the .rvm/gems directory for the version of jruby, and did "rvm jruby-1.7.8 do rvm gemset create" and now I can do "rvm use jruby"...things seem to work fine.
I have a bad feeling about this tho. But I always do when using RVM...
I don't know if it will actually require any additional packages (so this might not work), but you could try running rvm with --autolibs=0
so it doesn't attempt to install any packages; see https://rvm.io/rvm/autolibs for details.
