How do I update my RVM?

Answer 1

I believe rvm get stable is a newer command, that your version of rvm doesn't yet support. Update yours using rvm get latest and the get stable option should become available to you for future updates.

You can test this by just typing in rvm get to see what your options are.

In the older version of rvm you also need to reload:

rvm get head
rvm reload
rvm get stable

Running the installer is also safe:

bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)
rvm reload
