Adding RVM to path Ubuntu - ruby

Question

I'm having difficulty installing rvm and setting the path for it.
rvm install ruby
This yield "rvm: command not found"
When I echo $PATH
This yields "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
So obviously, rvm is not in my path. I see that I have rvm in my "/usr/local/rvm"
However, when I try export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/rvm
And then .. rvm install ruby
Still.. there is no command found.
Here is my .bashrc
# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)
# for examples
# If not running interactively, don't do anything

esac

Answer 1

I just added source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm on Ubuntu 14.04LTS
in /etc/environment.
# cat /etc/environment
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm

Answer 2

Adding the line below at the end of my ~/.zshrc solved the issue.
source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm

Answer 3

i had struggled on this a lot. Sometimes the location can also be /usr/share/rvm/scripts/rvm.
Hope this helps the other users finding the same problem.
