How to control what Ruby interpreter Puppet uses?

I have an app that requires Ruby 2.1 and use Puppet to provision a handful of servers.

The problem is, when I install on the 2.1 version of Ruby, Puppet starts using that, and it is not supported.

I would like to somehow point Puppet to a 2.0 version of Ruby installed in /opt.

Any suggestions?

Typically, you shouldn't let the system determine the path, but instead provide the full path to the Ruby interpreter you want to execute your script:

/usr/bin/ruby /some/path/to/foo.rb

Or:

/usr/local/bin/ruby1.9.2 /path/to/bar.rb

Perhaps you could add a shebang line in the .rb file that points to the other version of ruby?

Alternatively you could try to specifically add the bin/ruby location in /opt to the $PATH variable.
