Last modified: 10 August 2022Required plugin: Ruby
To work with the Ruby programming language, you need to download and install the required Ruby distribution. IntelliJ IDEA automatically detects interpreters installed on a local machine and maintained by version managers. The following interpreters are supported:
Ruby MRI (version 2.2.0 and later)
note
IntelliJ IDEA works with earlier Ruby MRI versions (from 1.8.7 up to 2.2.0) as is, but there won't be any further updates for them.
JRuby
TruffleRuby (without debugging)
Rubinius (without debugging)
For Rails projects, the following framework versions are supported:
Rails 4 requires Ruby 1.9.x or later.
Rails 5 requires Ruby 2.2.2 or later.
Rails 6 requires Ruby 2.5.0 or later.
Rails 7 requires Ruby 2.7.0 or later.
Thanks for your feedback!
