RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work.
You need to change your terminal emulator preferences to allow login shell.
Sometimes it is required to use `/bin/bash --login` as the command.
Please visit https://rvm.io/integration/gnome-terminal/ for a example.
Ruby Solutions
Solution 1 - Ruby
Your console is not running as a login shell and hence have no access to rvm function. If you are running Ubuntu, you can:
- Open console
- Select Edit -> Profile Preferences
- Select tab: Title and Command
- Check box 'Run command as a login shell'
- Restart terminal
Solution 2 - Ruby
Type bash --login from your terminal. And then give rvm use 2.0.0
Solution 3 - Ruby
It seems like your rvm does not load ".bash_profile" properly. I have done to fix it in MAC OS X or Ubuntu 14.04 by opening terminal and write:
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
Solution 4 - Ruby
My env is OSX Yosemite. Had the same issue .... solved by adding the following
- edit and add the following line to .bash_profile file.
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
- Restart terminal and try RVM command again
Solution 5 - Ruby
If you don't want that every time you open a terminal, do the suggestion above again, just add
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
at the end of ~/.bashrc
Solution 6 - Ruby
The error is due to rvm is not running as in login shell. Hence try the below command:
/bin/bash --login
You will able run rvm commands instantly as login shell in terminal.
Solution 7 - Ruby
Same principle as other answers, just thought it was quicker than re-opening terminals :)
bash -l -c "rvm use 2.0.0"
Solution 8 - Ruby
You need to add source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm to ~/.your_shellrc file. From now when you load a shell, rvm will be loaded.
For example:
if you are using zsh shell, need to add in ~/.zshrc file
if you are using bash shell, need to add in ~/.bashrc file
And then open a new tab to see the effect.
Solution 9 - Ruby
For me in Ubuntu(18.08), I have added below line in .bashrc and it works.
source /home/username/.rvm/scripts/rvm
Please add this line.
Solution 10 - Ruby
Following work for me in ubuntu 19.1
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
Solution 11 - Ruby
I think this more generic solution
echo 'source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"' >> ~/.bashrc
Solution 12 - Ruby
From a new Ubuntu 16.04 Installation
-
Terminal => Edit => Profile Preferences
-
Command Tab => Check Run command as a login shell
-
Close, and reopen terminal
rvm --default use 2.2.4
Solution 13 - Ruby
If RVM was installed with dedicated ubuntu RVM installer https://github.com/rvm/ubuntu_rvm the path to RVM scripts will be different /usr/share/rvm/scripts/rvm. So to add it to your .bashrc run the following command:
echo 'source "/usr/share/rvm/scripts/rvm"' >> ~/.bashrc
Solution 14 - Ruby
FWIW- I just ran across this as well, it was in the context of a cancelled selenium run. Perhaps there was a sub-shell being instantiated and left in place. Closing that terminal window and opening a new one was all I needed to do. (macOS Sierra)
Solution 15 - Ruby
Usually this is caused by shell initialization files. Search for PATH=... entries.
You can also re-add RVM to your profile by running: rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles
To fix it temporarily in this shell session run: rvm use ruby-2.6.5
To ignore this error add "rvm_silence_path_mismatch_check_flag=1" to your "~/.rvmrc" file.
