VisitGHCup vs RVM
What both publish
| Fact | GHCup | RVM |
|---|---|---|
| Installation requirements | On macOS, running GHCup may prompt the user to install command line tools; on Windows, msys2 should be set up during installation. | The installation page lists bash, curl, gpg2, and GNU versions of tools as basic requirements. |
| Purpose | GHCup is the main installer for the general purpose language Haskell. | RVM is a command-line tool for installing and managing multiple Ruby environments, from interpreters to gem sets. |
| Security | The installation instructions use HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or later for the Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and WSL2 bootstrap command. | RVM says it cryptographically signs releases and the installer script, and verifies signatures during updates. |
