    There really should be better diagnostic messages when something about the installation fails. Phusion Passenger is an example of how to do it right, where not only are rigorous tests done prior to the installation attempt, but any problems are explained with cut-and-pasteable examples on how to fix them. They’re even customized to the particular OS you’re using, differentiating between apt-get and yum among other things.

    If you’re missing git, you won’t get very far with rvm.
