rvm: Show specific dependencies for your OS.
$ rvm requirements
try on your machine

The command "rvm requirements" is used in the context of Ruby Version Manager (RVM). RVM is a tool designed to help manage multiple Ruby environments on a single machine.

The "rvm requirements" command is used to display the system requirements needed to install and use RVM properly. When executed, it checks the current system configuration and displays a list of packages or dependencies that need to be installed before RVM can function correctly.

The output typically includes information about any missing software packages or libraries that RVM relies on, such as compilers, libraries, or utilities. It may also provide instructions on how to install these dependencies using the appropriate package manager for the operating system (e.g., apt, yum, brew).

By running "rvm requirements" and following its instructions, you ensure that your system has all the necessary components to support RVM and successfully manage different Ruby versions and gemsets.
