(Mac Terminal) "System" message when trying to install latest ruby with RVM

Question

I'm a total newbie when it comes to using Terminal, so I don't really understand what's happening here when I try to upgrade my ruby version (1.8.7) with rvm on a Mac OS X 10.7.3.

When I input

rvm install current && rvm use current

I get this

system
system

What does this mean? And how can I proceed with the installation of the latest version?

The current rvm command outputs the name of the currently active installation of Ruby; in this case, it's using your system's pre-installed Ruby (1.8.7).

Try this:

rvm install 2.0 # (or whatever version you need)
rvm use 2.0 --default # this sets the default to the 2.0 install
