What `pwd` command output is? It seems you try to install it from the root directory. Try `cd && \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby`. – Aleksei Matiushkin Jul 25 '14 at 14:40

pwd is /Users/Adam (Adam is my home directory). Tried the cd && and have the same output.... – user3877313 Jul 27 '14 at 12:08

The problem could be that you're not running the command with admin privileges. Try using sudo:
sudo \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
You'll then have to enter your password, and it should work. Good luck!

I'm sorry. This might help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5253643/cannot-install-rvm-permission-denied-in-usr-local-rvm It says not to use sudo, my bad. Good luck! – Kites Jul 27 '14 at 19:46
