Question

I am new to Rails and Linux and have installed RVM with sudo.

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

Now I have to run most commands (like spork) with ‘rvmsudo’. It is redundant, and the way I learned, when something is redundand it is often wrong. How to get rid of this nuance? Is the only way to reinstall RVM? If so, how to properly reinstall?

Answer 1

Use rvm implode to uninstall rvm. Check that there are no environment variables left over in /etc/profile, /etc/bash_profile or whatever shell you’re using. Once you do that, then re-install using the single user guide found here.

You’ll have to execute the implode command using sudo since you installed it as root.
