Question

I followed the instructions from the RVM homepage (https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/)

I typed the following:

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

the script executed and didn’t seem to give any errors.

the same without sudo gave an error:

Warning: Failed to create the file 
Warning: /usr/share/ruby-rvm/archives/wayneeseguin-rvm-stable.tgz: Permission 
Warning: denied
  0  792k    0  3908    0     0   2257      0  0:05:59  0:00:01  0:05:58  2257
curl: (23) Failed writing body (0 != 3908)

Could not download 'https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/tarball/stable'.
  curl returned status '23'.

I also put this in my ~/.bashrc

echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

what I get is:

~$ type rvm | head -1
bash: type: rvm: not found

~$ source "/usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm"
bash: /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm: No such file or directory

~$ source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
bash: /home/anonym/.rvm/scripts/rvm: No such file or directory

How can this be fixed?

PS

I’m using Ubuntu 11.10

Can you try this:

$ curl -s raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer | bash -s stable

or

$ curl -s raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer | sudo bash -s stable

depending on your permissions. That should help. It helped me! 🙂
