    Do the following:

    I too recommend you make sure to read rvm requirements but here’s the gist of it for your convenience.

    Upgrade to the latest Xcode, launch it, go to Preferences -> Downloads -> click “Install” for “Command Line Tools”.

    Install homebrew if you don’t already have it. Then:

    brew update
brew upgrade
brew install git

    If you need to install rubies older than 1.9.3 do the following:

    brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install autoconf automake apple-gcc42
rvm pkg install openssl

    At this point you should rvm reinstall all of your rubies so they’re compiled against all of your new stuff. Be sure to then run rvm use [RUBY] --default to use that ruby and make it the default one.
