Disable RVM or use Ruby which was installed without RVM?

Question

For rails application I had installed Ruby 1.8.7 and Rails 2.3.11. And it was working fine. After that I have installed RVM and REE. So while running ruby script/server it's using REE. But now I want to use the older Ruby 1.8.7 which was installed without RVM.

Any Solution!

Try rvm use system to use the system ruby which is not managed via. rvm.

This command works fine. But after restarts terminal still getting ruby loaded with rvm. – krunal shah Apr 14 '11 at 08:59
Restart? Do you mean for new terminals? – Noufal Ibrahim Apr 14 '11 at 09:00
Yes new terminals or after restart my PC. – krunal shah Apr 14 '11 at 09:01

So then use the --default flag. RVM has a web site with docs on it, by the way. – noodl Apr 14 '11 at 09:03
I usually stick an rvm invocation at the end of my shell init files to select the appropriate ruby for my work. New shells run that and so I get what I need. – Noufal Ibrahim Apr 14 '11 at 09:07
Here's what the command returns when you do that with current rvm: `RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work.` – Br.Bill Apr 19 '13 at 01:22
Can't help. I've ditched rvm for rbenv. – Noufal Ibrahim Apr 19 '13 at 08:42

This works!

This means to set the "system" ruby as default, you reset RVM's defaults as follows.

rvm reset

NOTE: it works only when there is no default ruby set:

rvm alias delete default

This worked for me. In RVM if you have set default ruby version rvm use system jumps to that version. – ch4nd4n Jun 24 '11 at 18:13
