bash: ruby: command not found -- Other solutions only temporarily fix

Question

I'm running kubuntu (kde) on a chromebook and have ruby installed, along with rails. Everytime I close an instance of the konsole, reopen it, and try to check ruby's version

ruby -v

I get the error

bash: ruby: command not found

However, I'm able to get the version of rails

I've been able to tempoirarly fix this by typing

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile
exec $SHELL -l

but when I close out of konsole again, I get the same error upon reopening.

A better duplicate would be http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14637979/how-to-permanently-set-path-on-linux - sorry about that. — tripleee, Jul 28 '16 at 06:30

Try adding those lines to your .bashrc instead of .bash_profile. .bashrc gets executed every time you bring up a terminal window.

I gave that a shot and I'm still getting the same problem – galactichawk Apr 09 '15 at 21:34
