I just installed RVM, but can't make it work. I have such line at the end of my .profile file:

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

I tried to run source .profile and restarting terminal, but still, when I run rvm use 1.9.2 I'm getting:

RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work.

My system is Ubuntu 11.10.

Answer

You need to run the following

$ source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

then run this

$ type rvm | head -n 1

and if you get

rvm is a function

the problem is solved.

You also need to run user$ rvm requirements to see dependency requirements for your operating system

I forget mention that you need to put this code into you ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file and you will not need to write this code again. Cheers!
