I’m trying to run source /Users/alastair/.rvm/scripts/rvm, but keep getting:
Bad : modifier in $ (").
Where would the problem be? Happy to paste other files in if these would help.
Are you in any case running a shell that is not Bash or ZSH?
Bash >= 3.2.25orZSH >= 4.3.10is required.Your problem looks like you were using minimalistic shell
shwhich is not supported by RVM.You can check user shell in
/etc/passwdand change it withchsh -s /path/to/new/shell– list of allowed shells is available in/etc/shells– but make sure to pick Bash/ZSH, also note that links like sh->bash will not work as bash changes behavior based on the name that was invoked.
