No command 'rvm' found, but there are 21 similar ones rvm: command not found. Comes up when I'm in Vagrant on linux ubuntu 14.04.

Installed Vagrant and VirtualBox.

Answer 1

Found over at rvm command not found

Your problem is that RVM is not loaded when you open a new terminal.

To solve this , run this command line: ( if using login-shell )

echo "source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bash_profile

Or this ( if using non-login shell ):

echo "source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bashrc

This will add the path to RVM to load at each Terminal instanciation (close & re-open a terminal after you did this).

You could also try, if you're sshd into your box, running sudo apt-get update and then installing it?

Answer 2

I had this problem as well. I found that I had to add the full path for rvm in the provisioning script. The path is added to the environmental $PATH variable but not known to Vagrant during the provisioning.

/usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm install ruby-2.4.0

After provisioning:

[vagrant@Ruby ~]$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin: \
/usr/local/rvm/bin:/home/vagrant/.local/bin:/home/vagrant/bin

[vagrant@Ruby ~]$ which rvm
/usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm

Another option might be to source /etc/profile before executing an rvm , but I have not tried that yet.
