I've used the Ruby Version Manager <https://rvm.io/> for all things Ruby
for a few years now & can highly recommend it.

Stable, under constant development, very active community & Michal
Papis, who monitors & co-authors the project, is very quick to reply to
any problems/questions.

Several different ways to install & run Ruby are on offer & it's works
very well on CentOS.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
