rvm installs properly through:
sudo apt-get install ruby-rvm

When I try to install ruby 1.9.3 I get these errors?

anthony@SnakeDoc:~$ rvm install 1.9.3

Halting the installation.

I tried to chmod the directories where I get access denied but it does not fix the problem. Any suggestions?

    Please use this answer: Installed Ruby 1.9.3 with RVM but command line doesn't show ruby -v

    Your question is not duplicate, but the answer is the same.
