I am trying to teach myself RSpec and I am working on a lesson that
requires a version of RSpec that is less than 3. I currently have the
following versions for RSpec:

rspec (3.3.0, 2.99.0, 2.9.0)
rspec-core (3.3.2, 2.99.2, 2.9.0)
rspec-expectations (3.3.1, 2.99.2, 2.9.1)
rspec-mocks (3.3.2, 2.99.4, 2.9.0)
rspec-support (3.3.0)

I would like to uninstall all versions 3 or greater so I can work
through this project. I have been trying for most of today and I just
can't seem to figure out how to uninstall just RSpec so I am left with
only less than version 3. Any help is so appreciated!

?? Have you tried `gem help`? Because `gem uninstall rspec` seems
like a pretty obvious approach...

Use the command rvm gemset create to create a fresh new gemset where you can install the version of your choice. To move to that gemset, just type rvm use 2.0.0@GemsetName where 2.0.0 is the binary ruby version and GemsetName is your gemset.

This allows you to dynamically switch between gemsets and not worry about uninstalling and installing individual gems and their dependencies

Thanks,

Ganesh

Would specifying the appropriate version in Gemfile and running bundle
install achieve the desired result?
