Correct install for RVM and Chef

I installed rvm for multi-user on my server. 

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable 
sudo usermod -a -G
rvm ubuntu rvm install 2.1.1 
rvm --default use 2.1.1

I also installed Chef

curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh | sudo bash

But when i run "gem install chef" under ubuntu i get 

 You don't have write permissions into the /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1 directory

Obviously i can just change the permissions but I'm assuming this isn't how i should set this up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The omnibus installer, aka:

curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh | sudo bash

Installs Chef for you. You don't need to install Chef. You can run chef as chef-client or chef-solo.

Chef get's installed into /opt/chef and it packages it's own Ruby, etc.

With respect to your RVM issues:

  • Have you added the required lines to your .bashrc?
  • Are you actually executing a login shell (-l)?
  • Why are you trying to install chef into rvm?
