Installed RVM, rvm commands do not work

I just went through the RVM install.

I did this command:

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

and everything ran fine. Then in my user home directory, in .bash_profile I added 

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

Then I started a new shell just to be sure. And then I tried 

rvm

and got the error that 

No command 'rvm' found

Any ideas why that might happen?

maybe it is because .bash_profile only runs on login, if you run a new shell it only executes .bashrc

You could test using 

> bash -l

Did you see the "Troubleshooting your Install" section on this page.

It mentions that you need to remove return from your .bashrc. I often forget to do this on a fresh ubuntu install.

The example they give for ubuntu is to change this:

[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
# Some code here... e.g.
export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth

to this:

if [[ -n "$PS1" ]]; then
  # Some code here... e.g.
  export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
fi
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"  # This loads RVM into a shell session
