Error Installing rvm. scripts directory is missing from .rvm

Question

I found a few posts regarding installing rvm, but none of them apply here. On a fresh VM installation on Koding, I've followed the instruction to install rvm

\\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

This seems to work fine, there are no errors downloading the 2 .tar.gz and .tar.gz.asc files

Then when i activate rvm using : source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

that's when i get the error message "bash: /home/railspadawan/.rvm/scripts/rvm: No such file or directory".

I checked .rvm and the scripts directory is missing. I experienced the same problem on Nitrous.io, as well.

Answer 1

It wasn't working as the gpg signature verification had failed. I downloaded the signatures and voila! it works now.

rvm has started enforcing GPG signing and the problem surfaced some 3-4 days back (https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/3110). Looks like a necessary step from now for all new rvm installations. 

1) gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys D39DC0E3 This installs GPG signatures. rvm has started enforcing GPG signing and the problem surfaced some 3-4 days back ( https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/3110 ).

Steps 2 & 3 are unique to Nitrous.io and are a result of error messages during the rvm install. 2) unset GEM_HOME 3) added source ~/.profile to .bash_profile

followed by the rvm install steps

1) $ \\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable 2) source /home/action/.rvm/scripts/rvm
