RVM not found after installing RVM

I found a couple of similar posts on the same issue, but none of the solutions seem to be applicable here.

In a new installation of Ubuntu 10.10, I follow the instructions for installing RVM:

$ bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )

Then I create .bash_profile and add the following line:

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

I restart the terminal and check the RVM:

 $ type rvm | head -1 -bash: type: rvm: not found

As the RVM installation manual explains, I replaced the first line (below) with .bashrc with the second, then put aside everything else in the file and added fi.

 [ -z "$PS1" ] && return # original if [[ -n "$PS1" ]]; then # replaced with this

Rebooted the terminal and still no luck.

Then I deleted the line that I added to .bash_profile at the beginning and added it to .bashrc, although this is not what the guide said. However, no luck. I also entered it directly on the command line with no change in behavior. When I run .rvm from ~ / .rvm / bin / rvm, it complains that there is no such file or directory as /.rvm/scripts/rvm, and that the team was not funded.

Of course, there is no such “script” directory inside. / rvm, either - so I'm not sure why he is looking for him? The only directories inside .rvm are

 archives bin config gems gemsets log man rubies src tmp user

The only thing I found during the search in the answers was other people complaining about similar problems, and people asking them to add a line with instructions in .bash_profile (which I obviously already did). At this point, I have nothing more to go on, and I'm at a standstill.

Sincerely.

Resolution: As Andrew Marshall told in his comments below, I did rm -rf.rvm and reinstall rvm. I really tried to do this twice before posting here, with the same results every time. There are no odd messages in the installation log, but no / scripts /. The only way I could say what I had was, I did it the third time that Andrew insisted. This time I checked and the / scripts / directory existed. Running 'type rvm | head -1 'confirmed this as a "function", and now I can move on.

If there is no scripts directory in .rvm , it looks like RVM was unable to successfully complete the installation. Delete the .rvm directory, try reinstalling it, and carefully look at the installation output to make sure that it complains.

Make sure you restart the session after reinstallation, so that rvm is in your path.

You can try to log out / log in.

You can also open your shell as an input shell. Under ubuntu 12.04:

  • Open terminal
  • Edit > Profile Preferences
  • In the "Name and Command" section, select run Command as a login shell
  • Open a new terminal ( ctrl+alt+t ) and enter rvm
