I'm having a hard time getting rvm to install on Mint. I tried the instructions at:
https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/
The first step proceeds without incident. However, when I try to run source ~/.bash_profile, I get an error message stating that no such directory exists. I can restart the terminal, but it still says that "The program 'rvm' is currently not installed...."
A .rvm directory in now present in my home directory and the binary is there. I'm suspecting that this means that I need to add something in my .bashrc (or somewhere else) to tell the OS where to look for executables. But I'm still a little new at Linux and am uncertain where exactly it needs to go or what it should be.
The Answer in the same site:
echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bash_profile
it works for me.
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function
Looks like this needs to be tacked onto the end of the .bashrc file if it isn't present.

My rvm is not working, probably due to an error. When I open new console, it says:
-bash: /Users/amorfis/.rvm/scripts/cd: line 14: syntax error near unexpected token `('
-bash: /Users/amorfis/.rvm/scripts/cd: line 14: ` cd() { __zsh_like_cd cd "$#" ; }'
It's hard to say where the script .rvm/scripts/cd is called. When I remove this line from ~/.bash_profile:
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
there is no error. But when I issue source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm... still there is no error.
My system is Mac OS X 10.9.4

My ~/.bash_profile looks like this:
#...not important stuff
source ~/.bashrc
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
And in my ~/.bashrc I have this line (and few others):
[ -s "/Users/amorfis/.scm_breeze/scm_breeze.sh" ] && source "/Users/amorfis/.scm_breeze/scm_breeze.sh"
When I remove this line, the error is also gone. And again, it still doesn't show when I run source ~/.scm_breeze/scm_breeze.sh
Scm breeze is installed from here: https://github.com/ndbroadbent/scm_breeze
In source ~/.scm_breeze/scm_breeze.sh there is such piece of code:
if ! type ruby > /dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "Now in if"
# If Ruby is not installed, fall back to the
# slower bash/zsh implementation of 'git_status_shortcuts'
source "$scmbDir/lib/git/fallback/status_shortcuts_shell.sh"
fi
I expected the "if" statement is the problem. So I did this. Added such code before the if:
echo "Now lets try"
if ! type ruby > /dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "trying"
fi
echo "tried"
and inside if, as the first line in the block:
echo "Now in if"
This was the output:
Now lets try
tried
-bash: /Users/amorfis/.rvm/scripts/cd: line 14: syntax error near unexpected token `('
-bash: /Users/amorfis/.rvm/scripts/cd: line 14: ` cd() { __zsh_like_cd cd "$#" ; }'
So it looks like scm_breeze.sh is ok. The problem must be in .rvm, but only when scm_breeze.sh is run.
UPDATE 2:
The beginning of the .rvm/scripts/cd script looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Source a .rvmrc file in a directory after changing to it, if it exists. To
# disable this feature, set rvm_project_rvmrc=0 in /etc/rvmrc or $HOME/.rvmrc
case "${rvm_project_rvmrc:-1}" in
1|cd)
# clonned from git#github.com:mpapis/bash_zsh_support.git
source "$rvm_scripts_path/extras/bash_zsh_support/chpwd/function.sh"
# not using default loadign to support older Zsh
[[ -n "${ZSH_VERSION:-}" ]] &&
__rvm_version_compare "$ZSH_VERSION" -gt 4.3.4 ||
{
cd() { __zsh_like_cd cd "$#" ; }
popd() { __zsh_like_cd popd "$#" ; }
pushd() { __zsh_like_cd pushd "$#" ; }
}
I'd add this in as a comment, but I don't have the reputation to do so. I tried the answer from blob, but it didn't work.
I don't see the "scm_breeze-line", that Riaan Burger was talking about. Has anyone figured out an answer to this?
My error is pretty much the same:
/Users/myusername/.rvm/scripts/cd:14: defining function based on alias `cd' [ruby-2.3.3]
/Users/myusername/.rvm/scripts/cd:14: parse error near `()'
and line #14 says the same:
11 [[ -n "${ZSH_VERSION:-}" ]] &&
12 __rvm_version_compare "$ZSH_VERSION" -gt 4.3.4 ||
13 {
14 cd() { __zsh_like_cd cd "$#" ; }
15 popd() { __zsh_like_cd popd "$#" ; }
16 pushd() { __zsh_like_cd pushd "$#" ; }
17 }
I just ran into the same problem. The solution was to ensure the scm_breeze line executes after all the rvm ones.
Hit the same problem today, but the problem had nothing to do with scm_breeze in my case. If anyone stumbled onto this answer from google or some other place, maybe it'll help you.
Shortly after switching to OSX from Win7 I've been happily modifying anything and everything without necessarily understanding what I'm doing. Amongst other things, I've edited .bashrc as root (not the one from profile, rather the one located in /etc/.bashrc) and aliased cd like that:
alias cd='cd -P'
Never had problems with it before installing RVM, so if you were as root-happy as I once was, it might be worth checking whether you left yourself such a gift in the past.
I've moved said line into ~/.bash_profile and since then RVM happily runs without errors.
So basically what I did,
Step 1) Get a clone from SCM_BREEZE :-
git clone https://github.com/scmbreeze/scm_breeze.git
Step 2) Get a reference from Author's Doc (Link for Docs) and wrote few commands inside my local git repository's terminal,
. "$HOME/.scm_breeze/scm_breeze.sh"
update_scm_breeze
gs
It will update you scm breeze from github and patch your files if any
Your Git Status Command
N you are good to go...
Hope so it would help you now :)
I just switched to ZSH and are having issues with RVM. I believe it is related to my PATH. One issue that I have is when I start a new tab in iTerm2, the ruby version switches to 1.9.3 even though the default is 2.0.0. Here is my .zshrc file.
export PATH="/Users/okyretina/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353#iou-web/bin:$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin:/Users/okyretina/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429#rails-3.2.13/bin:/Users/okyretina/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429#global/bin:/Users/okyretina/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p429/bin:/Users/okyretina/.rvm/bin:/Users/okyretina/bin:/Users/okyretina/xbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Users/okyretina/phantomjs/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/share/npm/bin"
# load RVM
# insure /usr/local/bin comes before /usr/bin
# PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
# This command should be at the end for it loads the oh-my-zsh.sh script
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
my export PATH is very long but I'm not sure which one is no longer needed.
run:
rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles
it will reorganize your shell initialization files to load rvm in proper places, make sure to read all the output - it does print information and warnings that are important.
Probably my answer won't help you to solve your particular problem but I will try to help you in finding a solution.
Your $PATH is pretty long and it's hard to make sure that the files have a correct order. In zsh you can set $PATH like this (example taken from my config):
typeset -U path
path=(
/usr/local/{bin,sbin}
/usr/local/git/bin
/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin
$path
)
As you can see this method much better in terms of readability and it can help you to make sure that the order in $PATH is correct.
Also in your paths you use both "/Users/okyretina/" and $HOME. I think it makes sense to use $HOME in all cases so your paths will look much shorter and it will be easier to read them.
I'm using zsh in OSX with rvm, but it doesn't load the default ruby at login:
in my .zshrc I have
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
I've tried to swap those two lines, but still it doesn't work..
(of course in bash it works..)
The issue is that OMZ generated ~/.zshrc with hardcoded PATH, this makes the shell overwrite it every time this file is read.
There is also a bug in ZSH or some mysterious power that makes ZSH read ~/.zshrc after ~/.zprofile - this leads to resetting PATH.
Just comment out the PATH=... line in ~/.zshrc and it should work.
As for the mentioned error - it is supposed to be fixed already, update RVM - rvm get head - and open a new terminal ... if it still appears - open a new issue for RVM.
-bash: /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh: No such file or directory
-bash: /Users/janekambani/.bash_profile: line 1: conditional binary operator expected
-bash: /Users/janekambani/.bash_profile: line 1: syntax error near `"$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"'
-bash: /Users/janekambani/.bash_profile: line 1: `[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" '
I tried this:
sudo rm -rf /etc/rvmrc /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh /usr/local/rvm /usr/local/bin/rvm $HOME/.rvm $HOME/.rvmrc
but i still kept getting the same error.
im using OS X 10.8
Take a look at the source of /etc/profile.
On 10.8 of Mac OS, installing RVM while using sudo, adds a line to /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh. Even if you remove RVM using rvm implode, that one liner stays in there and will cause that error to show on start up of any terminal.
Use your favorite text editor (nano,vim, etc) to open /etc/profile and comment out these two lines:
source /etc/profile.d/sm.sh
source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
Then save the file.
To fix any issues with sourcing RVM use:
rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles #OR:
rvm get head --auto-dotfiles
It will remove existing sourcing lines and add new ones that are meant to work.
This is happening due to a botched installation of RVM (at least the part that tried to install the shell loader was botched). Did you recently try to install RVM?
Something kept trying to insert the RVM load code and it has made a mess.
Here is my suggestion:
Make a backup copy of your .bash_profile.
Open it in a text editor and remove everything but:
export PATH=/Applications/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-Developer-Preview:$PATH
export PATH=/Applications/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-Developer-Preview/command:$PATH
export PATH=/Applications/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-Developer-Preview/jsbuilder:$PATH
Add this line below that:
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
Save it and open another terminal and see if the error goes away.
I have installed RVM enroute to updating and running different ruby and rails. After install I received message to update shell's loading files.
1) Place the folowing line at the end of your shell's loading files
(.bashrc or .bash_profile for bash and .zshrc for zsh),
after all PATH/variable settings:
[[ -s "/Users/eric/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "/Users/eric/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # This loads RVM into a shell session.
You only need to add this line the first time you install rvm.
I typed [[ -s "/Users/eric/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "/Users/eric/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
and hit enter. Does this update my files? Or do I have to open some type of file and cut and paste code?
Since I did not see any notice as stated below from part 2 of the post install, I closed the shell and opened a new one. but the RVM command does not seem to work. Part 2 of the instructions post install was:
2) Ensure that there is no 'return' from inside the ~/.bashrc file,
otherwise rvm may be prevented from working properly.
This means that if you see something like:
'[ -z "$PS1" ] && return'
then you change this line to:
if [[ -n "$PS1" ]] ; then
# ... original content that was below the '&& return' line ...
fi # <= be sure to close the if at the end of the .bashrc.
# This is a good place to source rvm v v v
[[ -s "/Users/eric/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "/Users/eric/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # This loads RVM into a shell session.
EOF - This marks the end of the .bashrc file
Be absolutely *sure* to REMOVE the '&& return'.
If you wish to DRY up your config you can 'source ~/.bashrc' at the bottom of your .bash_profile.
Placing all non-interactive (non login) items in the .bashrc,
including the 'source' line above and any environment settings.
Thanks for the help as I am very new and trying to learn RoR but so far have not been able to get past the setup in many of the tutorials I've attempted. It seems many [
1 2 are out of date with new software or I get error messages before I can even attempt to learn the code. If someone knows of a good beginner tutorial that would be great. Thanks again!
The snippet that the installer gives you need to go in a file called the bashrc. The file lives in your home directory: /Users/eric/.bashrc
You need to edit this file and add the line from rvm and then you should be good to go.
As for getting rolling with rails I'd recommend The Pragmatic Programmers book on rails. You can find their books at pragprog.com
If you're on Ubuntu, my tutorial on setting rvm will get you roll all the way up to rails installation:
