  • 0

I just migrated from Windows to Ubuntu, and I am trying to install Ruby 1.9.2 on Ubuntu.

I first installed RVM, and it worked fine.

I ran RVM install 1.9.2 and everything seemed to work fine: it downloaded, configured, compiled and installed everything. At the end, I had the #complete message … so I thought everything ran fine…

But when I type ruby -v , I get a message

You can get Ruby in the following packages:
* Ruby 1.9.1
* Ruby 1.8

I then tried sudo apt-get ruby1.9.2, and I had a message saying that 1.9.2 would be replaced by 1.9.1

I did RVM install 1.8.7, everything seems to work fine, but I have at the end the same problem: Ruby is not recognized…

Typing which ruby does nothing (no answer, no error message).

I am a bit desesperate here, any idea to help me ?

Many thanks in advance !

    It looks like you are using “apt-get broken” RVM, follow this answer for instructions how to fix: Installed Ruby 1.9.3 with RVM but command line doesn't show ruby -v

    And here is good tutorial for RVM: http://screencasts.org/episodes/how-to-use-rvm
