How to completely uninstall RSpec version 3+?

I am trying to teach myself RSpec and I am working on a lesson that requires a version of RSpec that is less than 3. I currently have the following versions for RSpec:

rspec (3.3.0, 2.99.0, 2.9.0) rspec-core (3.3.2, 2.99.2, 2.9.0) rspec-expectations (3.3.1, 2.99.2, 2.9.1) rspec-mocks (3.3.2, 2.99.4, 2.9.0) rspec-support (3.3.0)

I would like to uninstall all versions 3 or greater so I can work through this project. I have been trying for most of today and I just can't seem to figure out how to uninstall just RSpec so I am left with only less than version 3. Any help is so appreciated!

?? Have you tried `gem help`? Because `gem uninstall rspec` seems like a pretty obvious approach...

will do -- thanks!

​Use the command *rvm gemset create* to create a fresh new gemset where you can install the version of your choice. To move to that gemset, just type rvm use 2.0.0@GemsetName where 2.0.0 is the binary ruby version and GemsetName is your gemset.

This allows you to dynamically switch between gemsets and not worry about ​uninstalling and installing individual gems and their dependencies

Thanks, Ganesh

Would specifying the appropriate version in Gemfile and running bundle install achieve the desired result?
