RVM won't install and causes errors

I am trying to install RVM on Mac OSX 10.5. When I do I get the following errors.

mitch:~ mitch$ bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )
      % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                     Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
    100   185  100   185    0     0    347      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0
    bash: line 1: html: No such file or directory
    bash: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `<'
    'ash: line 2: `<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>

I also tried to install using this:

bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)

Which does not produce any errors but also does not install or download anything.

Any ideas on how I can get RVM to install?

Thank you in advance.

Do ls ~/.rvm and see if the directory has been created. If it has, delete it using rm -rf ~/.rvm. That will clean out any partially installed RVMs.

Then do bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.io/install/rvm). If should be successful, and will present an introduction screen if it was.

Follow the directions in the intro text, and append RVM's initialization command to the end of your ~/.bashrc file. Be sure to read the directions about its placement.

Type rvm notes and read what it says for MacOS prerequisites. You'll need the latest XCode from Apple, which is free, but it's a big download.

At that point you should be able to use RVM to install some Rubies into its sandbox.

Try this, works for me

bash < <( curl https://rvm.io/releases/rvm-install-head )

or use -L option to tell curl to follow 301 redirection

bash < <( curl -L http://rvm.io/releases/rvm-install-head )

It looks like you have the same problem I had, and it was actually to do with curl.

You need to enable ssl support in curl, I found the solution with mac ports, in this post

http://naleid.com/blog/2009/03/16/enabling-https-support-in-curl-installed-through-macports-on-osx/

sudo port -f upgrade curl +ssl

Note the +ssl option which adds this support.
