I have a problem with bundle install. I have a fresh droplet with Rails and Ubuntu. If I run as root:
bundle install
I get the following message and my application breaks, start getting “Bad Gateway” errors from Nginx:
Don't run Bundler as root. Bundler can ask for sudo if it is needed, and
installing your bundle as root will break this application for all non-root
users on this machine.
If I run bundle install as the rails user:
su rails
bundle install
then I get this error:
sh: 1: bundle: not found
What am I missing? I’ve scoured the internet and tried every solution I can find and can’t get it working quite right.
Thanks for your help,

The ruby installation on the Rail on Rails One-Click application is managed by RVM. If you run which bundle you can see that the binary is installed to:
# which bundle
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.3/bin/bundle
The rails user doesn’t have a login shell, so you’d need to manually source the file /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh to access the Ruby installation.
You can set a proper login shell for the rails user by running:
chsh -s /bin/bash rails
Then switch to the user with: su - rails From man su
-, -l, --login
Provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly.
