I’m trying to upgrade RVM on my Debian server but it doesn’t work for some reason. Here’s the output of the command rvm get stable:

% Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                             Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

Turning on auto mode.

Downloading RVM from wayneeseguin branch stable

                             Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

Upgrading the RVM installation in /usr/local/rvm/
  RVM system user group 'rvm' exists, proceeding with installation.

After that it doesn’t continue. I’ve been waiting for about an hour already but no luck.

Also tried other methods shown on https://rvm.io/rvm/upgrading/

Does anyone know what’s wrong here?

Thanks!

    You can check on what the process hangs with:

    rvm --trace get stable

    there will be a lot of output but the last lines are important, they will show which command stops execution.

    It’s quite possible that you have some function / alias redefined which changes meaning of RVM code – as it is loaded directly to your shell, one of most common redefinitions is:

    : -> "cd .."
