I am trying to setup my computer for Ruby on Rails development. All new to this.
Though I have had some problems with my Rails installation and want to reset everything and start again on setting it up.
The problem I get now is installing and using bash in Terminal except of the installed zsh.
I´m trying the command ➜ ~ rvm install 1.9.2
but only get:
zsh: correct 'rvm' to 'rvim' [nyae]?
which opens the file in an texteditor.
Isn´t it supposed to be a downloadable file, which should be installed automaticly ?
It sounds like rvm is not on your path. You could specify the executable location explicitly:
~/.rvm/rvm install 1.9.2
(or maybe /usr/local/rvm/rvm depending on where you installed it)

UPDATE: I just quit all instances of Terminal and opened a new window, and apparently the message is not showing anymore.
I uninstalled ruby-2.1.0, installed ruby-2.1.3 and made it the default with RVM on Mac OS X.
Now everytime I open a new terminal window I see this:
ruby-2.1.0 is not installed.
To install do: 'rvm install ruby-2.1.0'
I looked on .bashrc, .bash_profile, .profile and .rvmrc, but I don't see anything trying to use ruby-2.1.0. I also updated the .ruby-version files.
rvm list shows ruby-2.1.3 as the current and default ruby.
How do I stop that message from appearing?
When you go into a Rails project directory in your terminal, RVM looks up the .ruby-version file and if it finds it, it checks the Ruby version specified inside this file, then if that Ruby version is not installed on your system by RVM, it gives you the message you are getting.
This is actually very helpful, allowing to know your project is using a Ruby version which is not installed on your system
The solution for me was to just quit all instances of Terminal and reopen it.
If anyone else is having this problem, check also Ali's answer regarding the .ruby-version file.
I have done multiple searches for installing SASS through my terminal on my Mac, when I write the command gem install sass, it tells me
-bash: $: command not found"
so I tried the alternative sudo install process. My result is
-bash: $: command not found".
Am I missing something here?
Sorry for the dumb question. I'm just a web designer/developer trying to learn SASS, I did get a response once telling me this "WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information. To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort. Password:"(My typing was correct) so I type my PW. it then tells me it's the wrong PW. - I have one PW on this machine. What am I doing wrong?
I did get this error message after a third try " You don't have write permissions into the /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8 directory.
Jasons-MacBook-Pro:~ JHess$ "
Do I not have the right permissions set up to perform the SASS install? I found a similar question on Stack regarding this issue - and it told me to install RVM. What exactly is RVM? Is it some type of bundled package?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I just attended a web conference in VA, "ConvergeRVA" and just recently graduated college, I'm not a seasoned vet like most peeps on here. But I would love to start learning SASS.
Note: I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
In order to use Sass you need Ruby installed. The error messages shows you have an old version 1.8.7
Update to a current version using RVM.
RVM is a command-line tool which allows you to easily install, manage, and work with multiple ruby environments
Copy and paste this into your terminal.
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
look at http://screencasts.org/episodes/how-to-use-rvm to learn how to use it.
After this is done try gem install sass again
You haven't installed Mac OS X Command Line Tools. It can be found at:
Xcode > Preferences > Downloads > Command Line Tool
Download & Install it, and restart the Terminal.
I have RVM installed, with project rvmrc files enabled.
In my bashrc I have:
rvm use 1.9.2
However, in one of my project rvmrc files I have:
rvm use 1.8.7
Which works great, however if I open up a new terminal window within the project I get:
Using /home/.../.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352
Using /home/.../.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290
Obviously, I want to 1.8.7, but the bashrc gets run after the project rvmrc. Meaning I'm using the wrong rvm so either have to cd out and back into the directory or run rvm use 1.8.7 again.
Is there anyway to force the rvmrc file to run after the bashrc?
I know about rvm default, but not sure if I want to\can use this.
please read this: https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/support/faq/#shell_login it describes which files should be used in which use cases.
as for rvm --default 1.9.2 it should be used over manually entering version into your rc file as it is loading ruby only if one was not yet selected.
Simplest solution for your rc files problem (I guess you have one) would be rvm get head --auto which will reorganize sourcing rvm in your rc files - to make it fully functional you need to restart your graphical session (or just reboot computer).
I used brew install to install ruby (as opposed to RVM). I have on my system installed ruby 1.9.3p0. (OSX Lion)
I'm trying to install Command-T via pathogen. I can normally run rake, make, ruby, whatever, but when i enter into the 'Command-T' directory and try to run rake make it says Could not find rake-0.8.7 in any of the sources.
I also cant run any normal ruby command. just ruby --version produces the same errors.
I know this has to do with below... but i dont know how to actually fix it.
Most installation problems are caused by a mismatch between the
version of Ruby on the host operating system, and the version of Ruby
that Vim itself linked against at compile time. For example, if one is
32-bit and the other is 64-bit, or one is from the Ruby 1.9 series and
the other is from the 1.8 series, then the plug-in is not likely to
work.
As such, on Mac OS X, I recommend using the standard Ruby that comes
with the system (currently 1.8.7) along with the latest version of
MacVim (currently version 7.3). If you wish to use custom builds of
Ruby or of MacVim (not recommmended) then you will have to take extra
care to ensure that the exact same Ruby environment is in effect when
building Ruby, Vim and the Command-T extension.
I tried temporarily moving the entire Cellar directory out of /usr/local (for those arent familiar, its where homebrew installs ruby and everything else).
In terminal if i run which ruby it works right.. yet when i rune rake make in the Command-T folder it still gives the same error
nevermind... all i had to do was run /usr/bin/rake make
how thats different than just removing the Cellar folder temporarily so that by default shell uses that path, i have no idea, but it worked.
I had similar problem on Fedora.
In the end, I found we should install rubygem-rake and ruby-dev package first.
After installing both, compile your Vim with "./configure --enable-rubyinterp",
then Commend-T will be ok.
I'm on a Mac running 10.6.4 Snow Leopard, and apparently ruby comes ready to go. But I'm new to Ruby, trying to learn the Rails framework, and so i decided to install the latest version 1.9.2. I followed the instructions here, but after I compile and install, when I run ruby -v I'm still getting 1.8.7. Anyone can help a noob out?
When I use which ruby I am getting usr/local/bin/ruby, so the path has changed and is correct.
UPDATE:
It seems I was having issues because I was using two login files to set my path (.bash_login and .profile). You can only use one, and the first one that exists and is readable will be used. I eventually switched to RVM and used .bash_login to load RVM into shell.
Well, the sw isn't lying to you. So something is not as you expect.
Try /usr/local/bin/ruby -v and see what version it is.
Added: Also, try locate ruby|more to see where the ruby files are on your system.
You may need to change your path to use your newly installed copy of ruby.
Added more: did you add the Path to your ~/.profile file as the instructions tell you to do in step 1?
Did you restart your terminal session after changing the ~/.profile file? (Quit and restart terminal.)
