Question

After installing rvm, using the following:

$ curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer > rvm-installer
$ bash rvm-installer 

I did the following as advised in the rvm site:

$ echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bash_profile
$ source .bash_profile 
-sh: is_a_function: command not found

When I looked up the installation output, I see that this error has been reported during the installation too (though I also see: “Installation of RVM to /Users//.rvm/ is complete.”)

I looked up the rvm scripts and I am able to see the function is_a_function in utility script.

Please advise on what I need to do now to fix this.

P.S.: I had to download the installer locally since I kept getting the following error:

$ bash < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)
-sh: syntax error near unexpected token `<'

I was getting the same error, but switching to stable version seems to have fixed it.

Did work:

sudo bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)
