Typing rvm list will give you a list of the installed rubies you have, like this:

    ree-1.8.7-2010.02 [ i686 ]
    ruby-1.8.7-p249 [ i686 ]
    ruby-1.9.2-p180 [ x86_64 ]
    ruby-1.9.2-p180-patched [ x86_64 ]
    ruby-1.9.2-p290 [ x86_64 ]
    ruby-1.9.2-p290-webkit [ x86_64 ]
=*  ruby-1.9.3-p194 [ x86_64 ]

If the one you want is ruby-1.9.3-p194, then type:

rvm --default use  ruby-1.9.3-p194

First, be careful to follow the installation instructions closely and make sure it's working.

You should also see this line in your bashrc as well:

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"  

Then try opening a new shell or try typing:

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

But in general if you're having issues, I'd recommend just re-installing rvm -- it doesn't take long and it's easy:

curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
