Not able to install ruby 2.0.0

Question

I am facing weird issue. I installed ruby latest version 2.0.0 using RVM on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

 \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

But when i restart my computer,

ruby -v

gives

ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [x86_64-linux]

And when i try to run this:

rvm install 2.0.0

It gives

 Already installed ruby-2.0.0-p247.
 To reinstall use:

rvm reinstall 2.0.0

Even on reinstall ruby -v gives ruby 1.8.7. I am not getting why ruby 2.0.0 is not getting installed and it reverts back to ruby 1.8.7 on computer restart.

Can anyone help me on why this happening? Thank you.

Do you want to install it systemwide as your new ruby or using RVM? `rvm use 2.0.0` is the RVM command for using it. — Henrik Andersson, Jul 18 '13 at 09:03

You need to activate 2.0.0 as well:

rvm use 2.0.0

To mark it as the default:

rvm use 2.0.0 --default

As for your "RVM is not a function" problem, see this SO question.

Above command gives RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work. – user2206724 Jul 18 '13 at 09:08
I updated my answer with a link to another Stack Overflow question about that. – sarahhodne Jul 18 '13 at 09:09
