I'm a very new Ruby person, mostly my use with Ruby is for Chef cookbook
writing. One of my goals is using Ruby for all of my work outside of Chef,
but finding that since my system is mapped to Chef Ruby and Gems, it's
having some issues with the other Ruby commands.
Since I don't want to change the Chef Ruby mapping as it's more critical to
my work, should I use RVM to create a new Ruby instance?
I'm very unfamiliar with RVM and other Ruby managers, so I'm not sure if
this is the right method to use them or not.
What do you mean by "Chef Ruby"? What "other Ruby commands"
are you having trouble with?
Also, what platform are you on?

Chef sets up its own gem manager similar to RVM, so you will have challenges implementing both. I'd be sure you google 'chefdk and RVM issues' to see what others did to do a work around. I have not explored this yet, but you might look into chefdk managing all environments outside of chef itself.
