How can I use the latest version of Ruby by default?

Question

I am on a Mac running OSX 10.11 El Capitan. I installed Ruby 2.3.1 via rvm. If I type in the terminal

ruby --version

It says that I am running 2.0.0

But if I type

rvm use 2.3.1

And then

ruby --version

It says that I am running 2.3.1

But next time I open terminal it goes back to 2.0.0

How can I use latest version of Ruby by default?

Hmm, [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7696633/how-to-set-default-ruby-version-with-rvm) answer offers another solution. Let me know if that solves the problem or not. – mlovic Jun 03 '16 at 08:50

Make a .ruby-version file in a directory of your project and in it put ruby-3.2.1 or which ever version you want
