Installing RVM to /home/foobar/.rvm/

Notes for Linux ( DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=maverick
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.10" )

NOTE: 'ruby' represents Matz's Ruby Interpreter (MRI) (1.8.X, 1.9.X)
             This is the *original* / standard Ruby Language Interpreter
      'ree'  represents Ruby Enterprise Edition
      'rbx'  represents Rubinius

bash >= 3.2 is required
curl is required
git is required (>= 1.7 recommended)
patch is required (for ree and some ruby-head's).

If you wish to install rbx and/or Ruby 1.9 head (MRI) (eg. 1.9.2-head),
then you must install and use rvm 1.8.7 first.

If you wish to have the 'pretty colors' again,
  set 'export rvm_pretty_print_flag=1' in ~/.rvmrc.

dependencies:
# For RVM
  rvm: bash curl git

# For Ruby (MRI & ree)  you should install the following OS dependencies:
  ruby: /usr/bin/apt-get install build-essential bison openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev

# For JRuby (if you wish to use it) you will need:
  jruby: /usr/bin/apt-get install curl g++ openjdk-6-jre-headless
  jruby-head: /usr/bin/apt-get install ant openjdk-6-jdk

# In addition to ruby: dependencies,
  ruby-head: subversion

# For IronRuby (if you wish to use it) you will need:
  ironruby: /usr/bin/apt-get install curl mono-2.0-devel


  You must now complete the install by loading RVM in new shells.

  1) Place the folowing line at the end of your shell's loading files
     (.bashrc or .bash_profile for bash and .zshrc for zsh),
     after all PATH/variable settings:

     [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"  # This loads RVM into a shell session.

     You only need to add this line the first time you install rvm.

  2) Ensure that there is no 'return' from inside the ~/.bashrc file,
     otherwise rvm may be prevented from working properly.

     
  This means that if you see something like:

    '[ -z "$PS1" ] && return'

  then you change this line to:

  if [[ -n "$PS1" ]] ; then

    # ... original content that was below the '&& return' line ...

  fi # <= be sure to close the if at the end of the .bashrc.

  # This is a good place to source rvm v v v
  [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"  # This loads RVM into a shell session.

EOF - This marks the end of the .bashrc file

     Be absolutely *sure* to REMOVE the '&& return'.

     If you wish to DRY up your config you can 'source ~/.bashrc' at the bottom of your .bash_profile.

     Placing all non-interactive (non login) items in the .bashrc,
     including the 'source' line above and any environment settings.

  3) CLOSE THIS SHELL and open a new one in order to use rvm.
  

  WARNING:  you have a 'return' statement in your ~/.bashrc
              This could cause some features of RVM to not work.

  
  This means that if you see something like:

    '[ -z "$PS1" ] && return'

  then you change this line to:

  if [[ -n "$PS1" ]] ; then

    # ... original content that was below the '&& return' line ...

  fi # <= be sure to close the if at the end of the .bashrc.

  # This is a good place to source rvm v v v
  [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"  # This loads RVM into a shell session.

EOF - This marks the end of the .bashrc file

  Even if you are using zsh you should still adjust the ~/.bashrc
  If you have any questions about this please visit
    #rvm on irc.freenode.net.
  

Installation of RVM to /home/foobar/.rvm/ is complete.


foobar,

Thank you very much for using RVM! I sincerely hope that RVM helps to
make your work both easier and more enjoyable.

If you have any questions, issues and/or ideas for improvement please
join#rvm on irc.freenode.net and let me know, note you must register
(http://bit.ly/5mGjlm) and identify (/msg nickserv <nick> <pass>) to
talk, this prevents spambots from ruining our day.

My irc nickname is 'wayneeseguin' and I hang out in #rvm typically

  ~09:00-17:00EDT and again from ~21:00EDT-~23:00EDT

If I do not respond right away, please hang around after asking your
question, I will respond as soon as I am back.  It is best to talk in
#rvm itself as then other users can help out should I be offline.

Be sure to get head often as rvm development happens fast,
you can do this by running 'rvm get head' followed by 'rvm reload'
or opening a new shell

  w⦿‿⦿t
