Rbenv handles the installation and management of multiple Ruby environments. Ruby 1.9.3 is required for Octopress and using rbenv you can install it with ease.
## Standard Rbenv Installation
The standard method for installing rbenv uses Git. From your terminal, run the following commands:
```sh
cd
git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git .rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile
git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
source ~/.bash_profile
```
**Zsh users:** In the instructions above substitute `~/.bash_profile` with `~/.zshenv`.
## Alternate Installation Using Homebrew
If you use Homebrew on Mac OS X you may prefer to install rbenv like this:
```sh
brew update
brew install rbenv
brew install ruby-build
```
## Install Ruby 1.9.3
Next install Ruby 1.9.3 and you'll be all set.
```sh
rbenv install 1.9.3-p0
rbenv rehash
```
Run `ruby --version` to be sure you're using Ruby 1.9.3. If you're having trouble, [seek help here](https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv/issues)
