Install Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu or Mint

Question

I installed Rails on my partition under Windows 7, but it is so slow, so I decided to try installing it on Linux.

I tried Ubuntu 11.04 and Mint 12, and for both I get the same problem.

I follow the Ruby On Rails Tutorial tutorial and I also have a PDF installation guide called Ruby On Rails Ubuntu Linux Mint.

I get to the part where it says type rvm notes- which lists the materials for installation. Then I install it all, and then when I type rvm, it says no rvm. Obviously for me there was rvm for input rvm notes.

I searched the drive (sudo find / -name rvm and I get 11 entries including /etc/profie.d/rvm.sh and / etc / rvmrc. There is also ruby-rvm.

I gave myself some time to check out Django and Ruby, but I don't seem to be anywhere with Ruby.

I am going to try installing Ubuntu Rails permutations in Virtual Box, but I would still like to know why I cannot install it in Ubuntu or Mint. I suspect this is the same problem for both.

I have not tried this recently, but it seems to be still, and I trust Ryan Biggs. See His post when installing Ruby and Rails on Ubuntu , and I'm sure you will find out.
