I am trying to set up RVM On Ubuntu 11.04 Server.

Making use of a multi user install..

The error I am currently getting is:-

$  sudo bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer )
-sh: Syntax error: redirection unexpected
$

I am not sure whats wrong with the command, as I am using an exact copy of the command from the RVM installation guide

Any inputs, could be really helpful..

When I login as root, I am able to atleast run the command and install rvm. But the rvm gives me a command not found.

root@host:/home/dir_name# sudo bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer )

# root,

#   Thank you for using RVM!

root@host:/home/dir_name# rvm
No command 'rvm' found, but there are 19 similar ones
rvm: command not found

Few points to note, wrt what I tried:-

Initially, rvm was installed for me in the path:-

/usr/local/rvm

but somehow rvm command doesn't seem to recognize the path where it is insalled, if I am guessing correctly.

I also tried install if root only , the installation path changes(to /root/.rvm/ ) but still I face the same issue.

I have a user, with loginname "user1" is there a way, I can let the user1 identify the rvm path, which has the post installation files, so that the command can be recognized

Thank you..

  • btw, multiuser installation of RVM is unrecommended. – Volodymyr Rudyi Jan 10 '12 at 13:03
  • @volodymyr: Can u pls share details as to why is multiuser installation not recommended.. Thanks.. – boddhisattva Jan 11 '12 at 04:51
  • In case of single user installation you don`t need root access at all, everything is executed with privileges of current user, so it`s easier to achieve better security. In case of multiuser installation you need root access, so it can cause security issues. Also multi-user installation(not mixed-mode) uses same gemsets and rubies for all users, so it can be little uncomfortable(while in single-user and mixed-mode install every user can have own versions of rubies and gemsets ) – Volodymyr Rudyi Jan 11 '12 at 06:24
  • @volodymyr: Thanks for your insights... A multi user install can also create different gemsets and use different ruby versions.. AFAIK.. I don't really get the reason of this not being there for a multi user.. – boddhisattva Jan 14 '12 at 05:17

  • Also, it looks like I will have to enter this command every time i want to use RVM.. any permanent solution to this when I boot linux ..? or change my user to be "root" or "any" user ... Wondering.. :) – boddhisattva Jan 14 '12 at 05:24

bash -s stable < <( curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer )
