Question

List the ruby versions

console:~$ rvm list

rvm rubies

ruby-2.0.0-p481 [ i686 ]

# => - current
# =* - current && default
#  * - default

Try to use a specific version of ruby

console:~$ rvm use 2.0.0

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.

Answer 1

From a new Ubuntu 16.04 Installation

1) Terminal => Edit => Profile Preferences

2) Command Tab => Check Run command as a login shell

3) Close, and reopen terminal

rvm --default use 2.2.4

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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.

Thanks!

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

Type bash --login from your terminal. And then give rvm use 2.0.0

Answer 6

Same principle as other answers, just thought it was quicker than re-opening terminals :)

bash -l -c "rvm use 2.0.0"
