I tried to run discourse in a VM via the Vagrantfile: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/Vagrantfile](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/Vagrantfile)

After enabling Virtualization in my BIOS settings of my computer, the installation started to work fine until this error:

```
==> default: ERROR: Error installing chef:
==> default: ohai requires Ruby version >= 2.0.0.

```

There is this line:

```
config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "apt-get -qq update && apt-get -qq -y install ruby1.9.3 build-essential && gem install chef --no-rdoc --no-ri --conservat

```

which seems to use ruby1.9.3, is there something wrong with the Vagrantfile?

Thats a bug in the vagrant setup it needs to updated asap to ruby 2.2.1

since the vagrant script still uses Ubuntu 12.04 ruby 2.0 is not implemented.

I created a short solution here at [Stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/a/29584352/1069083) that uses a [Gist](https://gist.github.com/rubo77/ba9b64b160fe46e44aa1).

```
wget -O - http://git.io/vvkI4 | bash

```

So this provision line fixes the problem (and adds some extra output with `set -x`):

```
 config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "set -x; apt-get update && apt-get -y install build-essential && wget -O - http://git.io/vvkI4 | bash && gem install chef --no-rdoc --no-ri --conservative"

```
