Install RVM to /usr/local - as admin group

install_rvm.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
#
# One-liner
# curl -fsS https://gist.github.com/raw/542746/install_rvm.rb | ruby -e '$script=STDIN.read;eval $script'
# 
# This script installs to /usr/local only. It assumes theres an
# admin group on your system - either "wheel", "admin", or "staff"
# 
# Sudo is used a few times during the initial install. But anyone
# in admin group can manage rvm (regardless of sudo privelidges)
# 
# In other words - no sudo'ing is needed thereafter.
# All rvm stuff remains writable by the admin group
#
# Based enitrely on: https://gist.github.com/323731
# For the philosophy, see: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew, "Quick Install to /usr/local"
#
# install_rvm.rb - Changelog

#   Numerous minor Bug fixes
#   Accept git commit refs for the version to install
#   Break into a new shell for interactive installs
#   Assume wheel group for linuxes with no 'admin' group
#   Enable tarball installs if git is missing
#
# 21st August 2010:
#   New version to install Rvm allongside brew in /usr/local.

  This installer requires that the system has an administrator group
  or "superuser group". The one which has sudo privelidges.

  Common admin group names are:

      "staff"
  
      # Ubuntu, Debian
      "admin"
  
      # Others

  No admin group was detected on your system, so its a requirement
  to create one. The name of this group must be "admin" or "wheel".
