Add Support for Ubuntu 15.10 (wily) / Ruby 2.1

[colinbjohnson]

It would be nice to be able to run AWS CodeDeploy on Ubuntu 15.10 (wily) which does not ship with Ruby version 2.0.

There are two workarounds I've listed below:

• add trusty repository to Ubuntu and install package Ruby2.0
• use RVM

In the case of Ubuntu, I have a preference for being able to run under the system provided, current version of Ruby.

I had a quick look at the source code, but so far I can't find any reason why this should not work on ruby 2.3 except for hardcoded ruby2.0 path ...

I will try to dig more ...

Hi, I am also experiencing this issue.

I symlinked the ruby binary like so: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby2.0

However, the install stalls further along:

Managed to install it with a PPA:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:brightbox/ruby-ng
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ruby2.0

I agree, it would be nice if it worked with 15.10 out-of-the-box.

Hi, we're tracking the work to update this on https://github.com/aws/aws-codedeploy-agent/issues/61, which should unblock the agent on both Ubuntu 15 and 16.
