Installing RVM: "Requirements installation failed with status: 1."

If anyone else encounters this particular "status: 1" error (I know a number of people have received this, but it seems for different reasons)... I can confirm depa's comment and will add to it to create an answer to the question:

I just had to install Homebrew myself using the command from brew.sh:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Then when I ran the RVM install command again it worked fine.

It seems RVM had a problem installing Homebrew on my machine for some reason.


Just ran Drewdavid's command and received the following:

Whoops, the Homebrew installer has moved! Please instead run:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Also, please ask wherever you got this link from to update it to the above.


For people deploying on Amazon Server or on linux needs to use

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Followed by brew install gcc , then Restart your system(logout and log in) and then rvm install ruby -version
