+Future versions of Arvados may require a newer version of Ruby than is packaged with your OS.  Using OS packages simplifies initial install, but may complicate upgrades that rely on a newer Ruby.  If this is a concern, we recommend using "RVM":#rvm.

+
+h3. Centos 7
+
+The Ruby version shipped with Centos 7 is too old.  Use "RVM":#rvm to install a newer version of Ruby (we recommend installing version 2.7 or newer).
+
+h3. Debian and Ubuntu
+
+Debian 10 (buster) and Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) ship with Ruby 2.5, which is too old for Arvados. Use "RVM":#rvm to install a newer version of Ruby (we recommend installing version 2.7 or newer).
+
+Debian 11 (bullseye) and Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) and later ship with Ruby 2.7 or newer, which is sufficient for Arvados.

-Either log out and log back in to activate RVM, or explicitly load it in all open shells like this:
+This command installs the latest Ruby 2.7.x release, as well as the @gem@ and @bundle@ commands.

+To use Ruby installed from RVM, load it in an open shell like this:
 
 <notextile>
 <pre><code><span class="userinput">source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm

-Once RVM is activated in your shell, install Bundler:
+Alternately you can use @rvm-exec@ (the first parameter is the ruby version to use, or "default"), for example:
