RVM Command: source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

I'm going through the rails by example tutorial series. I'm trying my best to find solutions prior to asking questions, so if I have missed anything I apologise.

Every time I need to boot up RVM from the command line in terminal I need to punch a command so that RVM initialises: source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

Is this normal? It seems that I cant get the RVM commands to work unless I punch in this code prior. Note I only have to enter the command once, not every time I need to enter an RVM command.

Many thanks for your help.

Try closing terminal and then re-opening it to install a specific version of Ruby as seen in this video at 2:32. For example, I typed curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

Then I quit and reopened the terminal, typed rvm install 2.2.3 and it worked.

If your rvm command is not found:

  1. (to check, enter the command rvm list, which gives:)
/bin/bash: rvm: command not found

To solve it, follow these steps:

  1. Install rvm

  2. whereis rvm

rvm: /home/username/.rvm/bin/rvm
  1. source ~/.rvm/bin/rvm

now test your rvm again

rvm list

Put this in your ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc:

# This loads RVM into a shell session.
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

So you don't have to manually type it for every session.

Further Tip

If you want to use gnome terminal (comes as standard in Ubuntu) with rvm, you can do the following:

  • Edit the default profile. Check the following setting:

    "Run command as a login shell"

  • This will stop loading the standard .bashrc by default. Fix this by making a soft link of .rvmrc pointing at .bashrc in your home directory

    cd
ln -s .bashrc .rvmrc
