I added the sudo on the right side of the '|' before the bash` and it seems to work: 

curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s -- --version latest**

Result: Downloading https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/archive/1.26.10.tar.gz Downloading

As a quick variant of eliminating this problem you can create rvm directory and allow everyone to write to it:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/rvm; sudo chmod a+xwr /usr/local/rvm

you need to clean shell environment variables before start new installation, th easiest way is to logout and login again.
