Rvm: Installation of Ruby v2.4.1 halted. How can I install Ruby successfully?

[choi2016]

Description

Fairly new to using RVM and Ruby. While trying to install Ruby v2.4.1 with RVM v1.29.3 on macOS Sierra v10.12.6, installation keeps halting with a message

Error running '__rvm_make install', please read /Users/edwardchoi/.rvm/log/1506727204_ruby-2.4.1/install.log There has been an error while running make install. Halting the installation.

Steps to reproduce

1. I installed RVM with homebrew
2. Ran rvm install 2.4.1 in my terminal
3. Edwards-MacBook-Pro:~ edwardchoi$ rvm install 2.4.1 Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time. No binary rubies available for: osx/10.12/x86_64/ruby-2.4.1. Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies. Checking requirements for osx. Certificates bundle '/usr/local/etc/[email protected]/cert.pem' is already up to date. Requirements installation successful.

turns out that I needed to execute 'xcode-select --install' before installing Ruby. That fixed my issue
