How do I know if ruby is installed on Windows?

Step 1: Check Ruby VersionOpen the command prompt and type ruby -v. If Ruby responds, and if it shows a version number at or above 2.2. 2, then type gem --version. If you don't get an error, skip Install Ruby step.


You have broken version of RVM. Ubuntu does something to RVM that produces lots of errors, the only safe way of fixing for now is to:

sudo apt-get --purge remove ruby-rvm
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/ruby-rvm /etc/rvmrc /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

open new terminal and validate environment is clean from old RVM settings (should be no output):

env | grep rvm

if there was output, try to open new terminal, if it does not help then restart your computer.

install RVM:

\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | 
  bash -s stable --ruby --autolibs=enable --auto-dotfiles

If you find you need some hand-holding, take a look at Installing Ruby on Ubuntu 12.04, which gives a bit more explanation.
