RVM not found, after installing RVM

Make sure that you restart a session after reinstalling, so that rvm is in your path.

You can try to logout/login.

You can also open your shell as a login shell. Under ubuntu 12.04:

  • Open a terminal
  • Edit > Profile Preferences
  • Under tab Title and Command, check run Command as a login shell
  • Open new terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and type rvm

If there's no scripts directory inside .rvm, it would seem that RVM failed to successfully complete installation. Delete the .rvm directory, try reinstalling, and look at the installation output closely to see if it's complaining about anything.
