Install with rbenv

[johnhenriksson]

I'm using rbenv and got ruby 2.3.1 installed as global. I get this error when i try the shoes command:

rbenv: jruby: command not found

The `jruby' command exists in these Ruby versions:
jruby-1.7.26

If I change to jruby global i get this message instead:

rbenv: shoes: command not found

The `shoes' command exists in these Ruby versions:
2.3.1

How do I get the shoes command working with rbenv?

Hi there,

first install a newer JRuby version. Like jruby-9.1.6.0 - then switch to that version and then do gem install shoes - this should work :)

Hey @johnhenriksson! Did running the installation on a version of JRuby work better for you?

FWIW, I've also entered #1300 for us to give a clear message when someone tries to use Shoes on a currently unsupported Ruby. Hopefully that will save others the trouble you ran into!

With #1345 merged, we should now provide a detailed message if you try to run Shoes on an unsupported Ruby platform. Hopefully that'll help anyone hitting these sort of problems.
