rbenv install 3.1.2 Build Failed checksum mismatch

[Sgtkeebs]

Hello everyone,

I am going through the Odin Project ruby tutorial, and I am trying to use rbenv to install ruby version 3.1.2 but no matter what I do I always get a checksum mismatch error. I have tried following the tutorial on GitHub to no success. I figured that the files are becoming corrupt when I use git clone, so I manually downloaded them from the github page, but that didn't work. I tried installing rbenv with sudo apt install rbenv, and then copying the updated ruby-build files over but I am still getting the checksum mismatch. I am currently on WSL1 Ubuntu 22.04.

Hi, I'm sorry you're having trouble. I haven't heard of this problem before. Can you paste the exact output you are getting, plus these pieces of information:

1. Output of rbenv install --version
2. Output of type shasum openssl sha256sum

I figured that the files are becoming corrupt when I use git clone

That is very unlikely. It should be safe to install ruby-build using git clone, and if anything was corrupted, there would be other errors than checksum mismatch.

Thank you for your response and for your time, but may we please close out this discussion? I don't believe anything is wrong with Rbenv at this point because I tried to install homebrew to get around the mismatch, but homebrew is also giving me a mismatch error as well, and from checking the homebrew page and performing research it looks like it might be a WSL1 issue, so I am just going to be setting up a virtual machine instead.

Edit: I don't know if it is the environment I am working in, but WSL1 did not work for me at all. I setup my virtual machine of ubuntu and I was able to successfully install HomeBrew as well as rbenv with ruby 3.1.2 successfully with no checksum mismatch error. I apologize for not trying this sooner!

No worries; I'm glad you solved it! Unlike GitHub issues, Discussions cannot be "closed", but I'll mark this thread as an answer.
