Question

I just walk-through with the installation of Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu using RVM.

First I have logged in as the root user.

Then I started with the f

Answer 1

Alright so when you get a failure message "No such file or directory", type

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

in your terminal. There will be a GPG signature verification failure. Bellow that failure there would be a link for github and a key something like this

gpg2 --recv-keys 409B6B...

So download a tar file from the github link and run this code to install GPG:

sudo apt install gnupg2

and run that key :

gpg2 --recv-keys 409B6B...

next run the code:

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

it will show you installing the rvm and then you can run:

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

thats it you are good to go

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

Install RVM:

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3

Now you will get a success message. Then, run this command:

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

See http://rvm.io/ for more info.

Answer 4

Can you use sudo find to locate the correct path of the rvm directory? If you find the path, you should be able to rerun the source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm command with the correct path.

Also, I fully agree with the previous answers about not creating it as root. DigitalOcean was a pretty good tutorial on adding users https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-14-04

Answer 5

After installing rvm, try:

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

If the above command throws some issue, try this command:

source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm

Answer 6

As root, you traditionally don't have a /home folder. Root's home is different than a normal user.

You very likely don't want to install RVM as root.

Please do read the information at http://rvm.io specifically the installation notes.
