Maxim:
in this instance I’d suggest `rbenv` and `rbenv install` (best
installed directly) here: https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.
if you want to stick with macports’ ruby, `sudo port select ruby` will
switch versions systemwide. `rbenv`, however, can use different rubies
per folder and will manage the gems etc in the `~/.rbenv` folder (or
wherever you install it).
You can also switch to just setting some variables in your shell
configuration and specifying where you want ruby to install things.
Scroll down to the ruby section here:

Dear all,
How are you? I hope all is well with you. I need help please. Can you
please guide me, on how to use and manage multiple Ruby installations
with MacPorts? I use Ruby primarily for static website generation with
Jekyll. But every time a new Ruby version comes it, it is a little bit
of a guesswork to make Jekyll work again. I thought I would ask the
experts here.
Issuing the `port search ruby` command I see `chruby, ruby31,
ruby_select, rb-bundler` which should all be helpful for me. But how
do I use them in an elegant way, switching between existing Ruby
versions?
I remember following the official Jekyll installation guide:
https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/macos/
<https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/macos/> But I don’t like,
that `ruby-install` installs everything, Ruby and gems, into my home
directory. This is not the place for installation files.
Thank you for your help and have a wonderful day ahead!
