How to downgrade Ruby and Rails versions without using RVM

Question

I am using Ruby 1.9.3p2 and Rails 4.0 versions on my Linux machine. Recently we got an maintenance project which is on versions Ruby 1.8.7 and Rails 2.3.2 . I tried of installing rvm, after that it asked to install ree. But it goes on continuously increasing packages to install.

Please tell me if there is any way without using rvm.

Answer 1

Using a version manager is the best way. If you don't want to use rvm, you could try using rbenv , although I prefer rvm.
