Question

I want to install RVM in ubuntu and I am following these steps

root@jaskaran-Vostro-1550:/home/user_name# sudo apt-get install curl

done this

Answer 1

If you installed rvm from root, try:

source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm

Answer 2

The scripts folder is inside the zipped directory, so first we need to extract it and then run the command. Do the following things.

cd ~/.rvm/archives
tar xvzf rvm-1.26.0.tgz # or whatever RVM version you have

This will extract the folder, and in this, there will be a folder named scripts. Now run the following command.

source ~/.rvm/archives/rvm-1.26.11/scripts/rvm

And you are done.

Answer 3

Try looking in /usr/local/rvm instead. You're root, it installs differently as root.

Are you sure you want to install RVM as root? It's typically a user thing.

Answer 4

me too got the same issue and get it resolved by simply changing my user from root to another normal user, i'm using ubuntu subsystem in windows 10

Answer 5

I was installing RVM on a remote server today and had the same issue. It seems that the installation was not executed by default. This is what I did to solve it:

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

  # In case rvm not found
  cd ~/.rvm/archives
  tar xvzf rvm-1.26.0.tgz # or whatever RVM version you have
  cd mpapis-rvm-xxxxxxx
  ./install
  cd ..
  rm -Rf mpapis-rvm-xxxxxxxx

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
echo "source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bashrc
