Software collections is a relatively new system that allows you to run some newer versions of popular packages including ruby, php, postgreSQL and more. I needed a newer version of Ruby (1.9.3) for my systems because I use a backup system that&#8217;s\u00a0written in <a title=\"Backup Gem\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/meskyanichi\/backup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ruby from Michael van Rooijen<\/a>.\u00a0I know that Ruby 1.9.3 might not be new enough for some but it works for me. The following is a quick guide on how to get Centos 6.5 and Ruby 1.9.3 via software collections.<\/p>\n<p>The standard CentOS repositories ships with software collections and its very easy to get them running. You can do so by running the following command.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nyum install -y centos-release-SCL\n<\/pre>\n<p>This will then give you access to the standard SCL&#8217;s that ship with CentOS\/RHEL. You can <a title=\"Building software collections\" href=\"https:\/\/access.redhat.com\/site\/documentation\/en-US\/Red_Hat_Developer_Toolset\/1\/html\/Software_Collections_Guide\/chap-Packaging_Software_Collections.html#sect-Building_a_Software_Collection_Locally\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">build your own software collections<\/a> if you like but I won&#8217;t go into that with this post.\u00a0Now\u00a0you will have the newer versions available to install such as ruby193. Run the following to install ruby193.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nyum install -y ruby193\n<\/pre>\n<p>I run minimal installs so I never have any other versions of software installed unless I need them so if I was to run <strong>ruby -v<\/strong> on the command line I would get the following:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\n[root@machine1 ~]# ruby -v\n-bash: ruby: command not found\n<\/pre>\n<p class=\"p1\">Now you might think that ruby hasn&#8217;t installed, it has it&#8217;s just not part of your path or current session. To enable ruby run\u00a0the following command.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\n[root@machine1\u00a0~]# source \/opt\/rh\/ruby193\/enable\n[root@machine1 ~]# ruby -v\nruby 1.9.3p448 (2013-06-27) [x86_64-linux]\n<\/pre>\n<p class=\"p1\">As you can see we&#8217;ve now got access to ruby 1.9.3 from the software collections. There is a whole bunch of ruby193 packages available you can find them using search with yum. As I don&#8217;t use the standard ruby packages at all I want to make the SCL version my default version. The above commands are great for the current session but you would have to run <strong>source<\/strong>\u00a0 every login. \u00a0A nice way to make sure that this is working across logout and reboots is to put the source command in the profile.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\necho &quot;source \/opt\/rh\/ruby193\/enable&quot; | sudo tee -a \/etc\/profile.d\/ruby193.sh\n<\/pre>\n<p>This will make it available as default for all users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wanted to cut the amount of repositories that my systems were running and I recently came across Red Hats Software Collections\u00a0(SCL).
