rbenv and managing ruby versions not working. Need 2.5.1

Question

I'm on Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave).

I'm trying to switch to ruby version 2.5.1 with rbenv, but i'm getting no errors or any luck changing... I also tried Switch to a different version of ruby using homebrew , but had no luck.

jj:project me$ rbenv -v
rbenv 1.1.2
jj:project me$ brew -v
Homebrew 2.2.14
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision ffa73; last commit 2020-05-03)
Homebrew/homebrew-cask (git revision f3b530; last commit 2020-05-03)
jj:project me$ ruby -v
ruby 2.2.0p0 (2014-12-25 revision 49005) [x86_64-darwin14]
jj:project me$ rbenv install 2.5.1
jj:project me$ rbenv local 2.5.1
rbenv: version `2.5.1' not installed
jj:project me$ rbenv install -l
...
2.4.10
2.5.0-dev
2.5.0-preview1
2.5.0-rc1
2.5.0
2.5.1
2.5.2
...

I've tried rbenv uninstall 2.5.1 and it says rbenv: version 2.5.1' not installed`. I updated brew and ruby-build too. Xcode looks fine... not sure what else to try...

Seems i can even run rbenv install 99 and got no errors. Same with rbenv install gibberish Eff... Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Did you add eval "$(rbenv init -)” to ~/.bashrc?

If you didn't, you can try add this and exec source ~/.bashrc .
