I'm following this tutorial:

http://www.christopherirish.com/2010/08/25/how-to-install-rvm-on-ubuntu-10-04/

When I get to the part where he tells us to modify the .bashrc file, I get stuck. For one thing, the .bashrc file is nowhere to be found.

Second, I tried manually creating the file myself and put this as it's c开发者_C百科ontents:

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

if [[ -s $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm ]] ; then source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm ; fi

fi

But when I try running the command rvm notes I get the following error:

No command 'rvm' found, but there are 20 similar ones rvm: command not found

What can I do to use RVM properly?

It's seems to me the last time I assisted someone with an RVM install, Wayne changed it so that the install automatically added the proper lines to the .bashrc file. I am not that familiar with Linux Mint, but know that you can sometimes also see it as .bash_profile, or simply .profile. Another recommendation from me, and something that has caused me a lot of heartache when installing RVM is remembering to restart the terminal session after installing RVM. The easiest way of course is to simply close your terminal session and start a new one, or if you know your shell configuration profile, simple source ~/.bashrc in your open terminal.

Please be sure to follow the directions listed on https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/ as they detail the exact set of steps needed for both Per-User and Multi-User installation types. They work for 1.6.x and up exactly as detailed, and were tested up to and including against 1.8.5 which is the current release.
