I inserted the following “$ rvm get head && rvm reload” and got the output below. It says that directories are missing and to run rvmsudo to fix my issues. Can someone explain what directories am I supposed to create? What is “rvmsudo”?

Based on the output, does this mean that this did not run properly? at the end, it notes.. “Upgrade of RVM in /usr/local/rvm/ is complete.”

Output:

    If you enter

    rvm -v

    and get 

    rvm 1.16.12 (stable) by Wayne E. Seguin <wayneeseguin@gmail.com>, Michal Papis <mpapis@gmail.com> [https://rvm.io/]

    then rvm is installed. If it did not install properly you can use

    rvm implode

    That will remove it and allow you start from scratch.

    rvm get stable

    This is will get you the latest stable version.

    As for what rvmsudo is, here is a great explanation
