Following this advice for installing RVM 1.5.2, I used these commands to install RVM 1.5.2 system wide (into /usr/local/rvm):
curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head > rvm-install-head
sudo bash rvm-install-head
That, in itself, worked. I added the appropriate source statements in my .bashrc file:
[[ -s "/usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "/usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm"
and proceeded to attempt to install Ruby 1.9.2 with this command:
sudo rvm install 1.9.2-head
However, I get "rvm: command not found". If I try it without sudo, I don't have appropriate permissions to create the necessary directories and so forth, as would be expected. The problem seems to be that the shell function rvm is defined for my user, but when running sudo, it doesn't seem to be available.
My question: What is the correct way to install rubies in a system wide RVM 1.5.2 install?
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.
If you have existing provisioning scripts that depend on the old system-wide install script, then staying at RVM version 1.3.0 is another option to consider.
(See RVM system-wide install script url broken -- what is replacement?)
It appears that the install scripts have been updated to correct this, so it doesn't appear to be an issue anymore.

According to the rvm documentation at
https://rvm.io/rvm/install
it should be possible to install rvm, and subsequently a ruby, as a non-privileged user.
Under troubleshooting at
https://rvm.io/support/troubleshooting
it states:
Any user in the rvm group can update RVM, rubies, and gemsets. There
is never a reason to use sudo post-install.
rvm installs fine as a non-privileged user (There is no rvm group):

However, when I try to install a ruby version, it fails (I think) trying to do an apt-get because it needs sudo privileges:

apt-get update (as a user with sudo privileges) shows no errors.
How is one supposed to install rvm so a non-privileged user can install a version of ruby?
My guess is your system is missing some basic system libraries for buiding Ruby from source. Hence RVM tries to fetch the build libraries for you. This will be a one-time update, and after your system has the proper libraries installed, RVM will not require sudo again.
However if you want you can disable apt updating completely with:
rvm autolibs disable
Note that if you have missing build requirements, then the build step of Ruby will quite likely fail. Only way to find out is to try.
In that case you can use the requirements command to help you install missing dependencies:
rvm requirements
Casper's answer above provided the missing information; there were some missing libraries. However, the steps required to be able to install as an unprivileged user were rather un-intuitive (to me, at least):
Install rvm using sudo; in that process it creates the "rvm" group.
Add the desired users to the rvm group
Note:
Attempting to install a ruby as an unprivileged user after this step still fails.
sudo to root to get the rvm magic paths installed for root, then start installing a ruby, but kill the process after the requirements installation is complete.
Log in as the desired unprivileged user and use rvm to install the desired ruby for that user.

I have a big problem with my Debian server configuration. Someone before me has made a big mess with ruby installation and now i can't manage to get it all working. What i'm trying to do now is to get back to environment, where ruby1.8 is installed and rails app is working correctly with apache+passenger. If it would be working on RVM it would be perfect. Here is the story:
There was ruby 1.8 installed on a server. The person has removed it with sudo apt-get remove ruby1.8 and then installed version 2.0.x manually using those commands:
mkdir /tmp/ruby && cd /tmp/ruby
curl --progress ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.0/ruby-2.0.0-p247.tar.gz | tar xz
cd ruby-2.0.0-p247
./configure
make
sudo make install
Then, he has removed all the dirs listed by whereis ruby with rm command.
And here i came - i want to install RVM on this server. The problem is, no matter what i do, i get a lot of errors from all sides. Steps i've done:
# Install RVM
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
# install 1.8.7 version
rvm install 1.8.7
# use 1.8.7
rvm use 1.8.7
# Install gems
bundle install
First thing (and that's just a tip of iceberg) is that i'm not able to start apache2 in cause of the following error:
apache2: Syntax error on line 203 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax
error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/passenger.load: Cannot
load
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-4.0.5/libout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
into server:
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-4.0.5/libout/apache2/mod_passenger.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Action
'configtest' failed.
Looks like there is even no /usr/lib/ruby/ dir on my system right now.
The question is: is there any way to reset all ruby-releated libraries on debian to the original state (debian without ruby installed) and install working RVM on top of that? Thanks in advance for any help.
Verify if, Is ruby installed correct by ruby -v
Install phusion passenger

I have been trying to get Ruby to run on my Mac for a few days and whatever I do does not seem to be successful. I have installed MacPorts and followed the post here: Installing Ruby on Mac OS X 10.8.2
I ran the following commands:
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install apple-gcc42
They completed sucessfully then I ran the line below:
CC=/opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2 rvm install ruby-1.9.3-p194 --enable-shared --without-tk --without-tcl
After I run that line it takes a couple minutes and I get the following:
enter code here MacPorts base is already the latest version
DEBUG: Setting MacPorts sources ownership to root

There were package installation errors, make sure to read the log.
Do I need to install the missing packages that it references? If so, how do I do this? I'm not very familiar with MacPorts and would appreciate the help to get this working.
Since I originally I went to install RVM through https://rvm.io/rvm/install/ I followed the first command to RVM with ruby:
$ \curl -#L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --autolibs=3 --ruby
After I ran the command it downloaded and compiled then when it went to install rubygems-2.0.3 for ruby-2.0.0-p0 it gave the following error message:
Error running 'env GEM_PATH=/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0#global:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0#global GEM_HOME=/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0 /usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p0/bin/ruby -d /usr/local/rvm/src/rubygems-2.0.3/setup.rb --verbose',
please read /usr/local/rvm/log/ruby-2.0.0-p0/rubygems.install.log
I then went to open the log file and at the bottom it says
ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError) undefined method fu_stream_blksize for #<Gem::Commands::SetupCommand:0x007fa09b05d7a8>

Any ideas what I can do next?
Thanks in advance.
I had similar problems with OS X 10.8.3 and XCode 4.6.1. After some googling, I tried the install with a similar RVM command, except using the XCode version of clang (which symlinks to /usr/bin/cc). Try this:
\curl -#L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable #just get rvm
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm get head # update to latest rvm
CC=/usr/bin/cc rvm install ruby
It should have the same failure installing rubygems-2.0.3, but reinstalling just rubygems should work:
CC=/usr/bin/cc rvm install rubygems latest # substitute "2.0.3" for "latest" if you like.
It appears that this is a bug in rubygems which is scheduled for fixing in 2.0.4.
Hope that helps!
I think this bug provide from FileUtils.
To fix it you need change rubygems script from rvm: nano .rvm/scripts/rubygems
To find words in nano use ctrl+w setup.rb and remove --verbose option.
After this you need ctrl+o to save file and ctrl+x to close nano.
Now you may reinstall rubygems:
rvm rubygems remove
rvm rubygems latest
Sorry for my bad english.
Hope this help you.
In addition to Valery's answer, you might have to do the following before removing and reinstalling:
echo ${LANG:-empty}
export LANG=en_US.utf-8
Links to the problem and solution:
https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues/516
https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/1689
This problem is harmless, rubygems is already installed and will work as expected, this is triggered by https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7992 - with --verbose flag to rubygems installation - your ruby is fully usable if there was no other error during installation.
A side note, RVM detects all the options/flags you have passed and it is not required to pass them manually, it would be enough to run:
rvm install ruby-1.9.3-p194
The RVM installer ran with --autolibs=3 is equivalent to running it withoug and setting it manually with:
rvm autolibs 3
To get more information on autolibs and available modes run:
rvm help autolibs
I am attempting to install RVM on Xubuntu and am having no luck getting the OS/terminal to recognize rvm as something that it can call.
I have been following the instructions here: http://beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/
I first call:
sudo bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer )
This seems to be executing correctly. I then run:
sudo echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bashrc
The text is appended to the end of the file.
Next I close out the terminal completely and reopen it. I try running:
type rvm | head -1
It responds:
bash: type: rvm: not found
If I try just calling rvm it responds:
The program 'rvm' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install ruby-rvm
Clearly I am doing something wrong, I cannot seem to determine what that is. Thank you.
By using the sudo version of the install script, you have installed the multi user version of rvm, and then you ran the single user "sourcing" script with sudo...
When using the multi user version, rvm will not install into $HOME/.rvm, but in /usr/local/rvm.
Therefore you will have to use the multi user way to source the rvm script, and that is to add your user to the rvm group.
As shine already posted though, you probably didn't want to install system wide rvm to start with.
Don't do it with sudo. You have installed it for a root and you're not a root.
RVM should be installed in your home folder, you don't need superuser privileges for that.
Silly question. I went to http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ and installed Ruby 1.9.2, but when I pull up command prompt and type ruby -v it's not recognized as a command. Am I doing something wrong? I had version 1.8.6 installed, but I couldn't figure out how to upgrade my Ruby version so I uninstalled it and tried a fresh install.
You need to add Ruby to your path variable, regardless of your operating system.
Say you're using Windows, and Ruby is installed in C:\Program Files\ruby1.9.2\ You'll need to find out which folder the ruby executable is in (ruby.exe). Sometimes it'll be in the main folder, but usually for open source packages it'll be in the subfolder bin. To add ruby to your path, then, you'll need to use C:\Program Files\ruby1.9.1\bin
You can do this on the command line like so:
path = %PATH%;C:\Program Files\ruby1.9.2\bin
Note that %PATH% has a percent sign on either side, and that there's a semi-colon separating it from the new value. You'll have to type it in each time you start a new command line window, but it might be a good idea to try this the first time, because any mistakes in typing it in won't be permanent.
To change it permanently you can find it in Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings. Switch to the Advanced tab, then click Environment Variables... Find path under System Variables, and add ;C:\Program Files\ruby1.9.2\bin to the end. Note that you still need a semi-colon to separate the new value from everything else, and that you don't need %PATH% this time (in face, the value you see is what %PATH% represents). Once you've done that, restart any command windows you had open, and you should be able to access things just fine!
These instructions will be different if you're using Linux or a Mac - try googling environment variables if you'd like to know more!
Did you add your bin Directory to the PATH?
Ok, when you install it, it will go in a directory:
ex: c:/program files/ruby1.9.x/
inside you will have a /bin directory which contains all the command for the command line.
To be able to use ruby in the command line, you must add it to your $PATH variable in the OS environment.
ex:
path=c:/program files/ruby1.9.x/bin;etc...
Install RVM with RUBY
sudo apt-get install curl
after install
install rvm also ruby
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
if you face issue with the above line (Failed to connect to get.rvm.io port 443: Network is unreachable)
in browser go to https://get.rvm.io save the page in any location
make it executable file name rvm-installer
chmod +x rvm-installer
then do the following
bash rvm-installer stable --ruby
source /home/username/.rvm/scripts/rvm
then check rvm list
note the version of ruby listing on terminal
if you failed to install due to the dependency
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core curl zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
if the above steps not installed ruby latest version you can do it by
rvm install ruby-2.1.1
installation using rvm
sudo apt-get install libgdbm-dev libncurses5-dev automake libtool bison libffi-dev
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
