Question

I am trying to set up RVM On Ubuntu 11.04 Server.

Making use of a multi user install..

The error I am currently getting is:-

$  sudo bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer )
-sh: Syntax error: redirection unexpected
$ 

I am not sure whats wrong with the command, as I am using an exact copy of the command from the RVM installation guide

Any inputs, could be really helpful..

When I login as root, I am able to atleast run the command and install rvm. But the rvm gives me a command not found.

root@host:/home/dir_name# sudo bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer )

root@host:/home/dir_name# rvm
No command 'rvm' found, but there are 19 similar ones
rvm: command not found

Few points to note, wrt what I tried:-

Initially, rvm was installed for me in the path:-

/usr/local/rvm

but somehow rvm command doesn’t seem to recognize the path where it is insalled, if I am guessing correctly.

I also tried install if root only , the installation path changes(to /root/.rvm/ ) but still I face the same issue.

I have a user, with loginname “user1” is there a way, I can let the user1 identify the rvm path, which has the post installation files, so that the command can be recognized

Thank you..
