Ruby

Unable to install RVM

I was to install Homebrew and get the RVM working using some workarounds from this post when the gpg keys weren't working. And the RVM appeared to have been installed, however, when I opened a new window to check to see if RVM has been properly installed, it said the rvm command wasn't found. I've tried using sudo in front and it still says it's not there.

I started this course to work through a problem I've had with a project and I'm now encountering the same issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your Macbook ships with one of the versions of Ruby by default. Perhaps that version is good enough for your current needs? RVM is really needed when you're switching between different projects that require different versions of Ruby to work properly.

It turns out I wasn't placing a lot of PATH code in the proper place.
