I am trying to install RVM on my Mac running the latest OS.
I first tried
$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
Cannot open for reading: "stable"

I then tried dropping the stable
$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s

How about \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash?

I am trying to curl a long URL like the following and save it into a file:
https://instagram.fwlg2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-15/277901819_162489612877754_7456098591865793913_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35&_nc_ht=instagram.fwlg2-1.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=102&_nc_ohc=gKuf2i9Vj5MAX-prxmR&edm=AABBvjUBAAAA&ccb=7-4&ig_cache_key=MjgxMDI0MDUzNDIyMTEzNzMyOQ%3D%3D.2-ccb7-4&oh=00_AT9BhJfQrBULLiNNXWfLQjhog3T8szmLRvMUEfWqE-cQIQ&oe=6266DFF7&_nc_sid=83d603
where the filename should be only 277901819_162489612877754_7456098591865793913_n.jpg
curl "https://instagram.fwlg2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-15/277901819_162489612877754_7456098591865793913_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35&_nc_ht=instagram.fwlg2-1.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=102&_nc_ohc=gKuf2i9Vj5MAX-prxmR&edm=AABBvjUBAAAA&ccb=7-4&ig_cache_key=MjgxMDI0MDUzNDIyMTEzNzMyOQ%3D%3D.2-ccb7-4&oh=00_AT9BhJfQrBULLiNNXWfLQjhog3T8szmLRvMUEfWqE-cQIQ&oe=6266DFF7&_nc_sid=83d603" doesnt save it to a file
Okay, so you have tried the -o and -O options, but they don't seem to do what you want.
$ curl -o 'https://instagram.fwlg2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-15/277901819_162489612877754_7456098591865793913_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35&_nc_ht=instagram.fwlg2-1.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=102&_nc_ohc=gKuf2i9Vj5MAX-prxmR&edm=AABBvjUBAAAA&ccb=7-4&ig_cache_key=MjgxMDI0MDUzNDIyMTEzNzMyOQ%3D%3D.2-ccb7-4&oh=00_AT9BhJfQrBULLiNNXWfLQjhog3T8szmLRvMUEfWqE-cQIQ&oe=6266DFF7&_nc_sid=83d603'
curl: no URL specified!
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
This fails because -o requires you to specify the filename yourself. The correct way to use -o is to specify the filename yourself:
$ curl -o '277901819_162489612877754_7456098591865793913_n.jpg' 'https://instagram.fwlg2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-15/277901819_162489612877754_7456098591865793913_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35&_nc_ht=instagram.fwlg2-1.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=102&_nc_ohc=gKuf2i9Vj5MAX-prxmR&edm=AABBvjUBAAAA&ccb=7-4&ig_cache_key=MjgxMDI0MDUzNDIyMTEzNzMyOQ%3D%3D.2-ccb7-4&oh=00_AT9BhJfQrBULLiNNXWfLQjhog3T8szmLRvMUEfWqE-cQIQ&oe=6266DFF7&_nc_sid=83d603'

You haven't really explained why this isn't satisfactory, so I'll assume that you are getting the URL from user input or a file or something.
This is what the -O option is for. But it turns up another problem:
$ curl -O 'https://instagram.fwlg2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-15/277901819_162489612877754_7456098591865793913_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35&_nc_ht=instagram.fwlg2-1.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=102&_nc_ohc=gKuf2i9Vj5MAX-prxmR&edm=AABBvjUBAAAA&ccb=7-4&ig_cache_key=MjgxMDI0MDUzNDIyMTEzNzMyOQ%3D%3D.2-ccb7-4&oh=00_AT9BhJfQrBULLiNNXWfLQjhog3T8szmLRvMUEfWqE-cQIQ&oe=6266DFF7&_nc_sid=83d603'

curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination
Depending on your system, perhaps this succeeded, but the filename wasn't what you wanted. This is trying to include the entire query string in the filename.
This seems about all you can do with curl as it stands. You either have to determine the filename yourself (such as with sed) and pass it with the -o option, or you need to use something other than curl.
I note that HTTPie handles this like you'd hope. Perhaps you could use it instead of curl?

You curl command is missing quote, it should be:

I have done this many times but this is new.

What is going wrong here ? It used to work before.
I am running a simple expect script that uses curl to pull the vagrant dmg, attaches it, installs it and proves password and then detaches.
Individually all the commands execute at the command line and the install works.
However when executing inside of the script it terminates after the curl completes.
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set timeout 60
exec curl -O https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/2.2.2/vagrant_2.2.2_x86_64.dmg
exec hdiutil attach vagrant_2.2.2_x86_64.dmg
spawn sudo installer -package /Volumes/Vagrant/vagrant.pkg -target /
expect "*?assword" { send “password” }
spawn hdiutil unmount /Volumes/Vagrant
The output I get is (concatenated):

At which time the script terminates.
Tcl's exec would fail if the executed command outputs anything to stderr.
curl outputs the download progress info to stderr .
So you need to ask exec to ignore the output to stderr: exec -ignorestderr curl ...
When I run a curl command against my non-running server, I get below output.
I only want
Failed to connect: Connection Refused
How can I remove the extra output. If I run --silent, it suppress everything.

yes! using -s, --silent along with -S, --show-error is the right option.
Curl gives me the compressed output by default, but try:
curl --compressed http://localhost:300/index.html
By contrast --verbose returns more lengthy output.
man curl will show you all the options available to you.
Looks like I need to use -sS. man curl will show you all the options available to you.

mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/rvm': Permission denied
How can I fix it ?
As a quick variant of eliminating this problem you can create rvm directory and allow everyone to write to it:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/rvm; sudo chmod a+xwr /usr/local/rvm
you need to clean shell environment variables before start new installation, th easiest way is to logout and login again.
I added the sudo on the right side of the '|' before the bash` and it seems to work:
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s -- --version latest**
