rvm command not found


I installed rvm with rails, from the official website of RVM, I specified the command suggested by the tutorial. When the installation my system has rails 4.0.0, rvm 01/23/12, ruby 2.0.0, bundler gem 1.3.5 and 2.0.3 But I need to install ruby 1.9 to practice with a course that I am currently doing. "Rails for Zombies 2" I try to execute the instruction rvm install 1.9.3 and the console returns this message: rvm: command not found

    Your problem is that RVM is not loaded when you open a new terminal.

    To solve this, run this command line: (if using login-shell)

    echo "source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bash_profile
    

    Or this (if using non-login shell):

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

    Or if you are using zsh (and/or oh-my-zsh):

    echo "source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.zshrc
    

    This will add the path to RVM to load at each Terminal instantiation. You must either close and reopen your terminals or simply call source ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc).
