Note: macOS users must properly specify ./configure --with-openssl-dir=... --with-opt-dir=... to compile Ruby against Homebrew's packages:

curl --remote-name https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/3.3/ruby-3.3.6.tar.xz
tar -xvf ruby-3.3.6.tar.xz
cd ruby-3.3.6
./configure \
    --prefix="$HOME/.rubies/ruby-3.3.6" \
    --with-libyaml-dir="$(brew --prefix libyaml)" \
    --with-openssl-dir="$(brew --prefix openssl@3)" \
    --with-readline-dir="$(brew --prefix readline)" \
    --with-zlib-dir="$(brew --prefix zlib)" \
    --with-opt-dir="$(brew --prefix gmp):$(brew --prefix jemalloc)" \
    --with-jemalloc
make -j8
make install
