Issue with Installation of Ruby & RVM; No such file or directory

Question

Good afternoon,

I'm new at this and I think I did something wrong when trying to install Ruby with RVM. Here is what my terminal shows when I open it:

Last login: Sun Oct 13 13:17:20 on ttys000 -bash: i[ -s /Users/<Username>/.rvm/scripts/rvm ]]: No such file or directory Charless-MacBook-Pro-2:~ <Username>

What steps should I take to remove the error message?

Thank you for any help!

Answer 1

In your .bashrc or .bash_profile it looks like you need to change the

[[ -s /Users/<Username>/.rvm/scripts/rvm ]]

to this :

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

Or manually set the username is a placeholder, you need to change that your username or set it to be dynamic.

Hey try the following steps.

First make sure you have the XCode Command Line Tools: You can add it by going to Xcode → Preferences → Downloads → Command Line Tools

Once you have it in your terminal try the following

$ curl -­L https://get.rvm.io | bash ­-s -stable
$ rvm get head && rvm reload

Now you want to make sure you have gcc4.2 with

`which gcc­4.2`

You can now try to install Ruby

$ rvm install 2.0.0
$ rvm use 2.0.0 ­­default

if you'd like a pervious version you can also do:

$ rvm install 1.9.3 # optional
