[ruby] How to update Ruby with Homebrew?

I want to know how to update to the latest stable version of Ruby with Homebrew. I am not interested in using RVM. Thanks.

This question is related to ruby macos homebrew

The answer is

brew upgrade ruby

Should pull latest version of the package and install it.

brew update updates brew itself, not packages (formulas they call it)

open terminal

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

restart terminal then

rvm install ruby-2.4.2

check ruby version it should be 2.4.2

I would use ruby-build with rbenv. The following lines install Ruby 3.0.0 and set it as your default Ruby version:

$ brew update
$ brew install ruby-build
$ brew install rbenv

$ rbenv install 3.0.0
$ rbenv global 3.0.0

Adding to the selected answer (as I haven't enough rep to add comment), one way to see the list of available versions (from ref) try:

$ rbenv install -l

To upgrade Ruby with rbenv: Per the rbenv README

Update first: brew upgrade rbenv ruby-build
See list of Ruby versions: versions available: rbenv install -l
Install: rbenv install <selected version>
