Solution

  • There is this note in rbenv's README (see Installation) about the shell command:

    Note that you'll need rbenv's shell integration enabled (step 3 of the installation instructions) in order to use this command.

    Step 3 is:

    Add rbenv init to your shell to enable shims and autocompletion.

    $ echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile

    Same as in previous step, use ~/.profile on Ubuntu, ~/.zshrc for Zsh.

    Did you follow that instruction?
