Answer 1

If you first installed RVM as root and then uninstalled it. And now you are trying to install it as a non sudo user and you're getting the following error:

mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/rvm': Permission denied

Make sure that you have logged out of the root session before trying to install under the user.
