Kick-start RVM

Sunday, 20 March 2011 08:51

This is installing procedure of RVM that worked for me



sudo apt-get install curl

bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )

Then add following to .bashrc and restart terminal:



[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"  # This loads RVM into a shell session.

To test, following should show "rvm is a function":



type rvm | head -1

Also may need to check dependencies:



rvm notes

Install Ruby 1.9.2:



rvm package install openssl

rvm package install readline

rvm install 1.9.2 --with-readline-dir=$rvm_path/usr --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_usr

Create gemset:



rvm use 1.9.2

rvm gemset create global

gem install bundle

Now you can work with your Rails project in Ruby 1.9.2



bundle install
