This might help…

once you have used the “rbenv method” you can then use “gem install shopify-cli”.

Am working through it myself at the moment, will reply again if I find further issues.

All things considered, you’re better off using Ubuntu 20.04, I just installed from scratch and followed the instructions here: https://shopify.dev/apps/tools/cli/installation using apt, without an issue.

Hope this helps.

I had the same error.
I used a solution with sudo apt install ruby-full found in the shopify-cli repository discussion: https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-cli/issues/753.
This solved that issue.
