You can install previous versions of Ruby following this instructions posted on this RVM github issue: rvm/rvm#4680 (comment)
I did the same as @grhansen suggested. I was installing ruby 2.3 and that required libssl1.0-dev. I am using Ubuntu 19.04. So I opened my /etc/apt/sources.list by
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
.
And then add the following line at the end of the file
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main
.
After that I run the command
sudo apt update
from the terminal. Then I run the command
apt-cache policy libssl1.0-dev
from the terminal and I got the following output
libssl1.0-dev: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.3 Version table: 1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.3 500 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/main amd64 Packages
Then I run the command
sudo apt-get install libssl1.0-dev
And it is installed then
Before adding I was getting
libssl1.0-dev: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table:
