Upgrading Ruby on Mac OS X

I am reading the book Programming Ruby and am looking to upgrade the version of Ruby on my computer. I run Mac OS X Snow Leopard and doing ruby -v in the command line shows I am running Ruby 1.8.7.

I installed MacPorts and ran the sudo port install ruby19 command but whenever I type ruby -v, it still shows Ruby 1.8.7.

Could anyone help with this? Thank you.

What is Ruby on macOS X?

ruby-build is a plugin for rbenv that allows you to compile and install different versions of Ruby. ruby-build can also be used as a standalone program without rbenv. It is available for macOS, Linux, and other UNIX-like operating systems.

The tool "rvm" is pretty good. It stands for Ruby Verson Manager I think, and the developer is good at support in the irc channels. You can install multiple versions of ruby along side each other pick the ones you want to use.
