Ruby Version Manager, often abbreviated as RVM, is a unix-like software platform designed to manage multiple installations of Ruby on the same device. [3]

The entire ruby environment including the Ruby interpreter, installed RubyGems and documentation is partitioned. The different versions can then be switched between to enable a developer to work on several projects with different version requirements.
