RVM Ruby installation not successful

I'm trying to install ruby using rvm on linux debian. This is my problem:

Ruby didn't work at all in the terminal (that is, it said: ruby:command not found.

Then I followed this thread RVM ruby installation issue and it worked. However, after I closed that terminal and opened a new one, it didn't work anymore.

Do I have to change something in the autostarts? Can someone please help me!!

Solution

  • Check if your ~/.profile file contains:

    PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting

    and your .bash_profile file contains:

    [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

    if it have it and still don't work add this line to your ~/.bash_profile

    source ~/.profile

    I'm assuming you are using bash as your shell. You may want to check it in your user preferences (depend on your distro).
