Question is very simple:
I cannot install RVM (single-user installation), as if I follow the instructions on the RVM website, that is:
$ curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
I get a permission denied error at line 360 of the installation script file (the line that starts with echo):
# Perform the actual installation, first we obtain the source using whichever
# means was specified, if any. Defaults to head.
case "${version}" in
(head)
echo "${branch}" > "$rvm_path/RELEASE"
install_head ${branch:-master} || exit $?
;;
Here is the error message:
olivier@~$ curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
bash: line 360: /usr/local/rvm/RELEASE: Permission denied
If I add "sudo" before "bash" in the command above, it works fine, but it is then the multi-user install...
Indeed, I solved this by uninstalling old versions of RVM: sudo rvm implode
and then deleting the file /etc/rvmrc
. Once done, I could install the single-user version and everything worked fine!
Sorry Remear, I wanted to edit your answer or complete it via my comment but I could not (comment can only be edited within 5 minutes...at least I upvoted...).
Once you have a system-wide install, you can't run a single-user install as it will detect your system-wide install first and try to update it.
But it is possible to have a root install & then user install by specifying the installation path:
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --path $HOME/.rvm
You will also have to set the single-user install path in your user path manually as RVM does not create it when you already have a system-wide install (not really an intended use):
# .bashrc
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
And also load your user rvm:
# .bash_profile
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
Are you setting rvm_path in ~/.rvmrc, or in /etc/rvmrc, or in one of your bash scripts? I'd recommend removing both of those files as well as ~/.rvm and then try installing rvm again WITHOUT sudo.
this work for me, first uninstall all versions and then as user (NO root) follow the next commands:
For example, I'm using Ruby 2.6.3 and Rails 5.2.2 and setting up helping a little in these web pages:
https://gorails.com/setup/ubuntu/20.04
$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB
$ curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ignore-dotfiles
$ source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
$ rvm install 2.6.3
$ rvm use 2.6.3 --default
$ ruby -v
$ gem install rails -v 5.2.2
$ rails -v
Check the paths:
$ which -a gem
$ which -a ruby
Now you can Add some gems (inside you app directory):
$ gem install faker
All works great for me, hope this helps!
