I have executed the commands as prescribed in the instructions at the rvm website but things don't seem to work..
Fetching the code from the git repository runs smoothly but when I try to use
rvm notes
Error:
/usr/local/bin/rvm: line 73: /home/cody/.rvm/scripts/rvm: No such file or directory
flashes in multiple lines and doesn't stop till I hit ctrl+C.. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and currently I am running ruby 1.9.2.. Sorry, if I am missing out any necessary information. Thanks in advance.
Ack, I didn't mean to post this as a comment on the question. Anyway, if I had to guess, I'd say you installed rvm using sudo or as root. If that is the case, remove it and reinstall without sudo:
sudo rm -rf $HOME/.rvm $HOME/.rvmrc /etc/rvmrc /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh \
/usr/local/rvm /usr/local/bin/rvm
sudo /usr/sbin/groupdel rvm # this might fail, it's not that important
Open new terminal window/tab and make sure rvm is removed:
env | grep rvm
The output should be empty, sometimes it's needed to relogin, after it's empty you can continue:
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
It works perfectly fine installed for the local user.
Ok, for anyone who tried to install RVM using sudo and is now pulling
their hair out trying to get it to install in $HOME/.rvm, here's what
did it for me:
When you installed RVM using sudo, it created a file /etc/rvmrc, which contains the following:
umask g+w
export rvm_path="/usr/local/rvm"
This makes all future attempts at installation (even when not run as sudo)
install into /usr/local/rvm, which is NOT what you want for a single
user installation. So remove /etc/rvmrc and then you can run
bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)
and it will install properly into $HOME/.rvm
DId you add this line to your ~/.bashrc?
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # This loads RVM into a shell session.
I have executed the commands as prescribed in the instructions at the rvm website.
WHICH commands? There are several pages containing instructions to install RVM depending on whether you want a single-user "sandbox" or are installing system-wide for a multi-user system as the administrator.
Because you have RVM in /usr/local, I think you tried to do a system-wide install but didn't get it right. For 99% of us, that is the wrong installation method, and instead you should use the single-user installation, which is simple and puts everything in ~/.rvm.
Either way, be sure to read the entire instructions. And, if doing a single-user install, finish the install with the "Post Install" modifications to ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile for a single-user, then start a new terminal session.
When using the single-user install NEVER use sudo to install gems to a RVM-managed Ruby, even though the instructions for a gem might say to.
Look at the section "Troubleshooting your install" here. Since you are on Ubuntu, you probably need to make further mods to you .bashrc
in .bashrc have you changed the
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
to
if [[ -n "$PS1" ]]; then
and added this to the end of the file:
fi
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
I just had a similar problem.
It turned out that many files in ~/.rvm/scripts/ and ~/.rvm/src/rvm/scripts/ which obviously should be executable did not have execute permissions. Running a script on both directories to set all files to executable solved that immediate problem.
I have got same problem after installation. Then I restarted terminal and it started working poperly.
