When running this in terminal:
$ curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s
It seems to work fine, but in the Upgrade Notes at the end it says
* WARNING: You have '~/.profile' file, you might want to load it,
to do that add the following line to '/Users/steven/.bash_profile':
source ~/.profile
And I can't use RVM, getting the error
-bash: rvm: command not found'
I am pretty new to terminal and Ruby, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
When you install rvm its paths get added to ~/.bash_profile
. RVM will warn you about this during installation as you noticed. You could run source ~/.profile
each time you load the terminal, but that's a pain in the neck.
From the bash docs:
When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable.
What this means is that /.bash_profile
is being run, and /.profile
and /.bashrc
are being ignored.
To resolve this just open .bash_profile
and copy the rvm paths at the top and paste them at the top of your .bashrc
file. Open a new terminal window and it should be working just fine.
You can either delete .bash_profile
, if it's empty, or copy and paste the contents of ~/.profile
into it if you choose to keep it.
