So I'm following this guide at http://railsapps.github.io/installrubyonrails-ubuntu.html

and I install RVM without a hitch. However, when I check for the version of ruby that I installed via:

ruby -v

I got the following:

The program 'ruby' can be found in the following packages:
 * ruby1.8
 * ruby1.9.1
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

I tried to install ruby manually through RVM:

rvm install ruby

However, it merely told me that ruby had already been installed.

Has anyone encountered this same issue?

TIA

  • Not entirely. Sorry for not responding. When I restarted my system, ruby was once again unavailable. However, I went ahead and solved my own problem – Edasaur Apr 05 '14 at 09:55

After installing rvm, if you installed it as root, try

source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

If you installed as user, try

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

I've definitely been there. I created a script to help me install ruby on remote machines. This was made for new EC2 instances, but maybe it will work.

If you do want to use it you'll likely have to remove rvm and your rubies first. -https://rvm.io/rubies/removing -sudo apt-get remove rvm

best of luck.
