I have installed RVM using following procedure (https://rvm.io/rvm/install)

  1. curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby --rails - it has installed RVM (single-user) in $HOME. (Question: How do I specify a non-default RVM installation path in above command?)

  2. Updated $PATH in my ~/.cshrc to have RVM bin path as below. set path = ($HOME/.rvm/bin ${path})

    prompt>which rvm 
$HOME/.rvm/bin/rvm 
prompt>rvm -v
 rvm 1.26.9 (latest) by Wayne E. Seguin <wayneeseguin@gmail.com>, Michal Papis <mpapis@gmail.com> [https://rvm.io/]
prompt>rvm list
 rvm rubies
 # No rvm rubies installed yet. Try 'rvm help install'.

  3. Though I have used --ruby and --rails in step (1), I noticed that Ruby & Rails were not installed as part of (1). So trying to install Ruby myself, using rvm install ruby

  4. Per RVM installation instruction, I need to source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm, which uses bash to execute. But our entire environment has tcsh as shell, and I cannot afford to change it. 

     prompt>source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
 if: Too few arguments.

    It is erroring out since our default shell is TCSH and the script is written in BASH.

     prompt> echo $SHELL
  /bin/tcsh

    And we use ~/.cshrc to configure our environment.

Can someone help me to fix the setup, so that I can use RVM?

Thanks in advance.

I tried following options:

  1. Using this as workaround now: How do I use RVM with tcsh? (it doesn't work good when I try running rvm use to switch Ruby Version. prompt>rvm use 1.8.6-p383

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

You need to change your terminal emulator preferences to allow login shell.
Sometimes it is required to use `/bin/bash --login` as the command.
Please visit https://rvm.io/integration/gnome-terminal/ for an example.

  2. http://po-ru.com/diary/using-rvm-with-tcsh/ does not help

  3. RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work is not a solution for my problem. I verified it is not working.

Unfortunately, we are not using ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc environments? Does it mean RVM is not supporting CSH/TCSH environments?

Thanks for all your help in advance.

  • *"Using this as workaround now: How do I use RVM with tcsh?"*, no, as I pointed out in that answer, you're supposed to set `$ruby_version` like so: `set ruby_version = 1.8.6-p383`, after reloading your tcshrc, all your environment variables should be updated. This *effectively* does the same as `rvm use`, but it was easier to implement (I had other stuff to do, and I don't use rvm that often...) – Martin Tournoij Jan 08 '15 at 15:27
  • If you want to do it properly, so that `rvm use` works, by the way, then look at how `./scripts/extras/rvm.fish` (for the fish shell) does it, and translate that to tcsh. – Martin Tournoij Jan 08 '15 at 15:31
