Rubymine can't find SDK. Where is it?

You should point it to the where you keep your Ruby Binary File, for example:

  • Windows - d:\dev\Ruby19\bin\ruby.exe
  • Mac Brew - /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.0.0-p247/bin/ruby
  • Ruby Version Manager - /Users/<user>/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p327/bin/ruby
  • Linux/Mac Default - /usr/bin/ruby

If you are on Windows and don't have Ruby installed yet, download it from http://rubyinstaller.org/ .

After installing point RubyMine to the ruby.exe file location.

For example, if you install using rubyinstaller-2.0.0-p247.exe into c:\Ruby200 (the default path suggested by the installer), RubyMine would accept c:\Ruby200\bin\ruby.exe path for the SDK (it will even detect it automatically):

Ruby SDK

Note that it's also recommended to install and configure the DevKit from the same site as it's required for many gems that have native code.

When everything is installed you can follow the Quick Start Guide for RubyMine.


If you are on windows its where ever you installed ruby under the bin folder as diplayed here If you are on a unix base system go to the terminal and enter which ruby and you will point it to the directory listed. Assuming you have ruby installed


Only for Mac, brew, rbenv:

$ which ruby /usr/local/var/rbenv/shims/ruby

But it doesn't show used gems. So, it's better to add file inside ruby version folder: /usr/local/var/rbenv/versions/*your_version*/bin/ruby
