Documentation: installing TruffleRuby in JVM mode from RVM

Open mohamedhafez opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

In the Readme, it does not specify how to install TruffleRuby in JVM mode from RVM. If that's not supported, perhaps the Readme could mention that?

Yes, RVM does not support TruffleRuby in JVM mode currently and given the complexity of RVM I didn't add it. Although of course someone else could try adding it if they feel like it.

I don't really want to add this in the README because that section is meant to be concise. It could be added in https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby/blob/master/doc/user/ruby-managers.md though.

IMO there are few reasons to use RVM these days.

You should be able to install truffleruby manually via these instructions: https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby/blob/master/doc/user/installing-truffleruby.md That can probably also be added to rvm via rvm mount or so, but rvm adds a bunch of overhead and extra stuff that I wouldn't recommend.
