When I install chruby, I have to edit its /etc/profile.d/chruby.sh and remove the comment delimiters from each line. After the edit, its content is the following.
When I restart my computer, that file does not seem to have effect: chruby is not recognized as command.
I then tried to copy the /usr/share/chruby/chruby.sh file to /etc/profile.d/chruby.sh, thinking that the first line could cause the script to terminate prematurely. This did not work either.
chruby is recognized as command only when I add the source /usr/share/chruby/chruby.sh line to the .bashrc file.
Is there any reason that would cause this code not to work?

I mean, are there restrictions on scripts placed in /etc/profile.d that would explain why that script does not work as expected?
I noticed that even adding source /usr/share/chruby/chruby.sh to the .bashrc file does not work; I have to execute it directly on the terminal window I open. It seems I should copy all the lines from the /usr/share/chruby/chruby.sh file to the .bashrc file.
I agree: It is much better to use a different installer/manager.
yay -S chruby does not install any /usr/local/share/chruby/chruby.sh file. I only find a /usr/share/chruby/chruby.sh file the instructions given after installing says to use.
Please do one of the following or something similar depending of your preferred shell and setup:
For further support/information, please see the project’s homepage!
For your convenience there’s a file at /etc/profile.d/chruby.sh which can used to enable chruby systemwide. You just need to uncomment the lines in the file.
It was a reply to your previous post. I just meant that either the GitHub page is not updated, or it does not apply to EndeavourOS / Arch Linux.
I apologize: My posts did not mean to say you were wrong or to push you to find another solution. I only reported what I found on my computer after running yay -S chruby.
I deleted the /etc/profile.d/chruby.sh file with sudo rm /etc/profile.d/chruby.sh, I added the source /usr/share/chruby/chruby.sh line to the .bashrc file. I rebooted and now chruby works.
I was doing the mistake to verify with which chruby if all worked correctly, as that command returns which: no chruby in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl). That is correct: chruby is a function, as type chruby shows.
That is what the output of yay -S chruby suggested. Since that required to just edit a file, and since I was convinced that putting a file in the /etc/profile.d/ directory is better than adding new lines to the .bashrc file, I first tried that.
Then I tried a different way, as I wanted to create a script to install chruby on other computers.
Like what?
