Ruby Version for Open Source MacOS Builds?

[Brian Richwine]

In the Quick Start documentation, for the GitHub Codespaces and Debian/Ubunto sections the version of Ruby specified is 3.1. However the MacOS section says to make sure you have Ruby 2.7. 

I'm assuming it is okay to install Ruby 3.1?

Thanks,

Hi Brian, not sure if you got this answered yet, but ...

Strange, I don't see 2.7 listed in the Quick Start docs:

https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms/wiki/Quick-Start#macos

Maybe the docs were updated since you posted this question?

Yes, Ruby 3.1 is the way to go. For non-Docker development, I
currently have ruby 3.1.2p20 installed via asdf: https://asdf-vm.com/

Hope that helps.
