install rvm "bash /root/.rvm/scripts/rvm No such file or directory"

I want to install RVM in ubuntu and I am following these steps 

root@jaskaran-Vostro-1550:/home/user_name# sudo apt-get install curl

done this successfully

root@jaskaran-Vostro-1550:/home/user_name# curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

done this successfully

but when I run this command 

root@jaskaran-Vostro-1550:/home/user_name# source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

result like that 

bash: /root/.rvm/scripts/rvm: No such file or directory

What's wrong in this?

The scripts folder is inside the zipped directory, so first we need to extract it and then run the command. Do the following things.

cd ~/.rvm/archives
tar xvzf rvm-1.26.0.tgz # or whatever RVM version you have

This will extract the folder, and in this, there will be a folder named scripts. Now run the following command.

source ~/.rvm/archives/rvm-1.26.11/scripts/rvm

And you are done.

If you installed rvm from root, try:

source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm

I was installing RVM on a remote server today and had the same issue. It seems that the installation was not executed by default. This is what I did to solve it:

curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

  # In case rvm not found
  cd ~/.rvm/archives
  tar xvzf rvm-1.26.0.tgz # or whatever RVM version you have
  cd mpapis-rvm-xxxxxxx
  ./install
  cd ..
  rm -Rf mpapis-rvm-xxxxxxxx

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
echo "source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bashrc

Try looking in /usr/local/rvm instead. You're root, it installs differently as root.

Are you sure you want to install RVM as root? It's typically a user thing.
