Deploying Rails App - RVM Ruby version issue

Question

I'm deploying a Rails app with Capistrano. The deploy begins well but fails when it hits the following:

00:06 deploy:assets:precompile 01 ~/.rvm/bin/rvm default do rake assets:precompile 01 Required ruby-2.4.1 is not installed. 01 To install do: 'rvm install "ruby-2.4.1"' 01 rake aborted! 01 LoadError: cannot load such file -- bundler/setup

I installed rvm on the server, but cannot install ruby as follows:

$ rvm install ruby-2.4.1 Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time. Found remote file https://rvm_io.global.ssl.fastly.net/binaries/centos/7/x86_64/ruby-2.4.1.tar.bz2 Checking requirements for centos. Installing requirements for centos. Installing required packages: libyaml-devel..eltea password required for 'yum install -y libyaml-devel': . Error running 'requirements_centos_libs_install libyaml-devel', please read /home/eltea/.rvm/log/1516764890_ruby-2.4.1/package_install_libyaml-devel.log Requirements installation failed with status: 1.

The log file confirms that the issue is that libyaml-devel install requires root.

How can I deploy the app? Ruby 2.4.1 is available, but only as when typed as ruby2.4 - it's not the default. Is it possible to import ruby 2.4.1 from the system into my rvm?

If not, is it possible to deploy the app while "stripping" the rvm component of it?

I've installed libyaml-devel to the server and rvm and it seems to be working on a test account:

$ which ruby
~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.4.1/bin/ruby
$ ruby -v
ruby 2.4.1p111 (2017-03-22 revision 58053) [x86_64-linux]

Can you give it another run from your account?

Fantastic, thank you. For other people who find this question - was this fix specific to my particular server (ie: webxxx) or would this work for all users now?

The libyaml-devel wasn't installed in any of our servers.

We've installed it now everywhere, after you've confirm that it works.
