Is generally not recommend to install RVM as a root user because of umask security risk. Try running these commands as a user.

Downloading RVM (Do not sudo this command)

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails

Then you'll need to add the location to sources(You'll probably need to reload your bash for rvm to work)

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

You can install your desired version like so(replace ruby_version with one you would like to install, eg 2.1.4)

rvm install ruby_version

To list the available version on your machine

rvm list

To use a version of ruby run

rvm use ruby_version

If you have any trouble refere to the RVM website
