<p dir="auto">in this instance I’d suggest <code>rbenv</code> and <code>rbenv install</code> (best installed directly) here: <a href="https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv">https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">if you want to stick with macports’ ruby, <code>sudo port select ruby</code> will switch versions systemwide. <code>rbenv</code>, however, can use different rubies per folder and will manage the gems etc in the <code>~/.rbenv</code> folder (or wherever you install it).</p>
<p dir="auto">You can also switch to just setting some variables in your shell configuration and specifying where you want ruby to install things. Scroll down to the ruby section here: <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory#Supported">https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory#Supported</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">best,</p>
