I am trying to set up a local Rails environment, and I am having issues with getting RVM installed.
Here is the error I get:
$ bash < <( curl http://rvm.io/releases/rvm-install-head )
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 185 100 185 0 0 136 0 0:00:01 0:00:01 --:--:-- 0
bash: line 1: html: No such file or directory
bash: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `<'
'ash: line 2: `<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
The contents of my /usr/local folder are as follows:
bin man
etc mysql
hermes mysql-5.1.56-osx10.5-x86_64
include rvm
info share
lib
I have some working knowledge of what's going on here, but help on what I'm missing or whether I'm approaching this the wrong way would be greatly appreciated.
Use the new RVM installer for either user and/or root installs instead, it defaults to head
.
user$ curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash
Alternatively you can install the stable release like this:
user$ curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
RTFM material is located at https://rvm.io/rvm/install and https://rvm.io/rvm/basics
On my Mac OS X 10.5.8 I had to use
bash < <(curl -Lks https://rvm.io/install/rvm) or it failed silently.
The -s switch by itself absolutely does not work. Fails silently.
It's annoying when people answer with the generic info anyone can find at the RVM site. Please try to actually answer this when you've actually succeeded in installing ON A MAC.
Matt if my fix does not work for you then would you let us know? Thanks.
On mac 10.5 I had to run this command
$ echo insecure >> ~/.curlrc
followed by this
$ bash -s stable < <(curl -Lks --insecure https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)
I hope this is helpful to someone out there.
You are missing the -s
option to curl.
bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.io/releases/rvm-install-head )
