I"m using Ubuntu and RVM. I've run the command
rvm use 2.1.2
Running
ruby -v
gives me the 2.1.2 version.
When I start rails I get the following error
Your Ruby version is 2.3.1, but your Gemfile specified 2.1.2
But RVM doesn't even have 2.3.1 installed.
You may have apt installed ruby. For example, when I run apt show ruby, on my system, I get this
$ apt show ruby
Package: ruby
Version: 1:2.3.0+1
Priority: optional
Section: interpreters
Source: ruby-defaults
Origin: Ubuntu
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss#lists.ubuntu.com>
...
Clearly, the ruby version is 2.3.x here. So I suggest you apt remove ruby first. If that doesn't solve the problem, it is possible that there is a problem with your $PATH environment variable.
ruby -v gives you the ruby version installed on your system, not the current ruby version used by RVM.
To see which ruby version is currently used by RVM, use rvm list. Make sure it's using ruby version 2.1.2 by running rvm use ruby-2.1.2
From your question, it seems Rails is using your system ruby instead of RVM ruby.

I installed Ruby many moons ago but never use it. Perhaps I inadvertently broke it as I seem to be having troubles with getting it working with the sass command.
After running the brew install sass/sass/sass I get the following error with sass command:
rbenv: sass: command not found
The `sass' command exists in these Ruby versions:
2.1.10
2.5.0
ruby -v yields:
ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029) [x86_64-darwin17]
which I'm guessing is the stock version of Ruby on a mac.
The rbenv command prints out help so it looks like I have that installed. brew list shows I have the ruby package installed. I upgraded ruby with brew but that didn't help (it reported I upgraded from 2.6.1 to 2.6.2. I don't appear to have rvm installed.
If you're using RVM you shouldn't need to brew install anything, in fact you shouldn't.
See documentation here https://github.com/sass/ruby-sass which is deprecated and will refer you to use https://github.com/sass/sassc-ruby instead.
brew uninstall any ruby and ruby packages and just use rbenv to manage your ruby versions.
Once you set your ruby version with rbenv global 2.6.1 for example or whatever version you want, then just do
gem install sassc
Or in your Gemfile add
gem 'sassc`
and run
bundle install
This problem probably has an obvious answer to anyone who has used Ruby on linux for a long time, but I can't really get a good answer via Google.
I'm trying to check out the Rails 5 beta, which requires Ruby 2.2.2 or greater. I've installed the RVM (Ruby Version Manager) and set my ruby version to 2.2.3. Running rvm list in the terminal results in the following output:
rvm rubies
=* ruby-2.2.3 [ x86_64 ]
# => - current
# =* - current && default
# * - default
Okay, great. I have Ruby 2.2.3 installed. Let's try bundle update:
Installing rack 2.0.0.alpha (was 1.6.4)
Gem::InstallError: rack requires Ruby version >= 2.2.2.
Okay, that's weird. What version of ruby do I have? Running ruby -v gives me this:
ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13) [x86_64-linux-gnu]
So... do I have 2.2.3 or not? What gives?
Since you are using bundle, I would suggest you to check your Gemfile for ruby version. You can also test it with bundle exec ruby -v
Also try:
rvm use ruby-2.2.3
bundle exec ruby -v
Maybe by setting the default Ruby version on rvm to the one you have (ruby-2.2.3) solves the problem, by doing rvm --default use ruby-2.2.3. Then reload the bash and execute ruby -v to check if the default version of Ruby was changed properly and then try again to execute the bundle install command.
If you don't know zsh and oh-my-zsh, I highly recommend for this kind of things. You could configure the terminal in order to show you the current version of Ruby and Rails that you're using every moment. Check it here: http://ohmyz.sh/
In addition to doing rvm use --default 2.2.3 or rvm use 2.2.3 make sure that you don't have the ruby package from apt (or whatever package manager) still installed. For some reason, that ruby package could take precedence over an RVM Ruby.
Also, try doing rvm uninstall 2.1.5 to force your system to default to 2.2.3... You can always reinstall 2.1.5 later and, if this issue persists, 2.2.3 should stick as your default.
Sounds strange but I cannot tell which ruby version is installed. If I do
rvm rubies
I get
ruby-1.9.2-p180 [ i686 ]
but with
ruby -v
I get
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i686-linux]
When trying to
rvm upgrade 1.8.7-p302 1.9.2-p180
I get an error
ERROR: Ruby 'ruby-1.8.7-p302' is not installed - please install it first.
ERROR: Error migrating gems.
So, which one is it? 1.8.7-p302 or 1.9.2-p180 ???
Please help me out here! Thanks
You get 1.8.7 from the installed version of your system. Use rvm use --default 1.9.2 in order to set the Ruby installed via rvm as default.
RVM basically changes your $PATH variable to point to a different Ruby version than the one installed on your system.
Please also make sure that you have done steps 2 and 3 of the installation guide and confirmed that RVM is correctly set up.
You might have 1.8.7 because you did sudo apt-get install ruby or something like that, and then later ran rvm install 1.9.2. Is that the case?
The answer is both as mentioned by other posters. As a recommendation you should uninstall the ruby packages that come with the system if you choose to manage ruby version using rvm.
Here is a question related to Ruby.
The Express Installation of OpenNebula 2.2.0 on CentOS has caused me big problems, since it installs Ruby 1.8.5, which is incompatible with Sunstone.
I installed Ruby 1.9.2 after executing the Express installation, but the problem remained, since Sunstone tried to use the old Ruby-installation.
I don't know how to configure, so that the newer Ruby-version should be used instead.
After this problem I reinstalled CentOS and installad Ruby 1.8.7.
When I do ruby -v, it shows:
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-12-23 patchlevel 330).
But when I do 'gem update –system', it says
(Gem::InstallError)
rubygems-update requries Ruby Version >= 1.8.7.. An older version was installed before from the CentOS-repository (for yum install) and apparently the GEM install doesn't understand that I have installed a newer version.
So my question is:
How should I configure my system so that all programs will understand to use Ruby 1.8.7 ?
Thanks!

I suggest to try using Ruby Version Manager
bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.ioinstall/rvm)
and then, or even better before :), read some documentation about rvm.
I just upgraded to rails 3 but was running ruby 1.9.1 prior to the upgrade. Rails 3 doesn't support Ruby 1.9.1. How can I downgrade to ruby 1.8.7?
This will downgrade from your current version to 1.8.7:
gem update --system 1.8.7
install rvm, this will allow you to run multiple versions of ruby and switch between them at will: rvm
As others have mentioned, its hard to come up with exact solution, in general to downgrade or switch versions for a user:
Install Ruby 1.8.7 (or locate it on your system if you have it already)
Edit your .bash_profile or .bashrc file to update your $PATH so that the 1.8.7 executable is found first. Something like this:
export RUBY_187_HOME='/path/to/1.8.7'
export PATH=$RUBY_187_HOME/bin:$PATH
This is a little similar to what RVM does and it works.
To test, try
$ which ruby
$ /path/to/1.8.7/bin/ruby
