{{<note "Apple Silicon">}}
On recent Apple Silicon Macs, installing Ruby through RVM can fail with repeated OpenSSL errors. If you hit those, [`rv`](https://github.com/spinel-coop/rv) (a Ruby version manager) is a reliable alternative:

```sh
brew install rv
rv ruby install 3.2.11
```

To have `rv` switch Ruby versions automatically, install its shell integration once. For example, for `zsh`:

```sh
echo 'eval "$(rv shell init zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc
```

Run `rv shell <your-shell>` (`bash`, `fish`, etc.) to see the equivalent for your shell, then open a new terminal. After that, `rv` reads the repository's `.ruby-version` file and selects the pinned version automatically when you `cd` into the project.
