So I wanted to make sure Puppet only supports Ruby 1.8 as I’d seen on a support mailing list. It turns out the main Puppet Supported Platforms page says Puppet 3.5.1 supports Ruby 2.1. Epic win! So I installed it:
First, I need to install the Ruby Version Manager (RVM):
[root@centos ~]# curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed

Downloading https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/archive/stable.tar.gz
Creating group 'rvm'
Installing RVM to /usr/local/rvm/
cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/rvm/src/rvm/bin/rake': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/rvm/src/rvm/bin/bundle': No such file or directory
Installation of RVM in /usr/local/rvm/ is almost complete:
* First you need to add all users that will be using rvm to 'rvm' group,
and logout - login again, anyone using rvm will be operating with `umask u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx`.
* To start using RVM you need to run `source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh`
in all your open shell windows, in rare cases you need to reopen all shell windows.
# Administrator,
#
# Thank you for using RVM!
# We sincerely hope that RVM helps to make your life easier and more enjoyable!!!
#
# ~Wayne, Michal & team.

So far so good. Next, set it up:
[root@centos ~]# rvm reload
-bash: rvm: command not found
[root@centos ~]# source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
[root@centos ~]# rvm reload
RVM reloaded!Okay. Next, install 2.1.0:
[root@centos ~]# rvm install 2.1.0
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
