Unable to install any Ruby version using any Ruby version manager on MacOS M1 Sonoma 14.6.1

I've been trying to install Ruby using any version management for Ruby (RVM, Rbenv, ASDF and also ruby-install directly) and keep getting the same error. for some context: I am trying to install it for my React Native project where I am not able to run bundle install because of some conflicts in the gem file and I want to test out different versions of ruby but I have a suspicion that it's using the system Ruby anyways so I wanted to try an RVM.

This is the error I am getting:

I am also looking for tips on how to debug this at all. Thanks.

I tried installing ruby using RVM, RBENV, Ruby-install and nothing worked with the same failure.

It seems that something in your macOS configuration results in node being executed during installation (which is unexpected here). This may be caused by aliases, shell functions or path overrides which you may have setup in your shell.

Depending on how you have setup your $PATH variable in your shell's init files, if you have installed e.g. the npm make package, its make executable may shadow the make command which is part of the C compiler suite and whioch is required to build Ruby.

To fix this, ensure that your shell's $PATH variable is correctly setup so that your node / npm executables do not shadow system executables. The paths to NPM / nodejs executables should likely be after paths like /usr/local/bin and /opt/local/bin.
