New Digital Ocean customer here. Need some rvm help. This is what I’ve done so far:
- 1-Click Install Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu 12.10.
- Initial Server Setup with Ubuntu 12.04.
From my home directory /home/ltrainpr I type rvm install 2.0.0 and get this error: mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/rvm/log/ruby-2.0.0-p195’: Permission denied Could not detect ruby version/name for installation, please be more specific.
I tried rvmsudo install 2.0.0 and get this error:
Warning: can not check /etc/sudoers for secure_path, falling back to call via /usr/bin/env, this breaks rules from /etc/sudoers. Run:
export rvmsudo_secure_path=1
to avoid the warning, put it in shell initialization file to make it persistent.
In case there is no secure_path in /etc/sudoers. Run:
export rvmsudo_secure_path=0
to avoid the warning, put it in shell initialization file to make it persistent.
[sudo] password for ltrainpr:
install: missing destination file operand after 2.0.0' Try install --help’ for more information.
I tried the command: rvm use ruby 2.0.0-p195 --default and got this error: mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/rvm/log/ruby-2.0.0-p195’: Permission denied
Tried rvmsudo use ruby 2.0.0-p195 --default and got this error: /usr/bin/env: use: No such file or directory
When I do rvm list, I get: rvm rubies
=* ruby-1.9.3-p429 [ x86_64 ]
=> - current
=* - current && default
* - default
When I run sudo I get: sudo: rvm: command not found
I would like to use ruby 2.0.0 with rvm. What do I need to do? What am I missing? rvm file is under usr/local/rvm

The image is already set up with a ‘rails’ user – it’s recommended that you use that user instead. <br> <br>If you still want to use the ‘ltrainpr’ user, run these commands as root: <br> <br><pre>usermod -a -G sudo ltrainpr <br>usermod -s /bin/bash ltrainpr</pre> <br> <br>Then log in as ltrainpr and run this command: <br> <br><pre>/bin/bash --login</pre> <br> <br>It’ll spawn a login shell, once you’re inside, run these commands: <br> <br><pre>sudo /usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm get stable <br>sudo /usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm install 2.0.0 <br>rvm requirements <br>rvm use --default 2.0.0</pre> <br> <br>That should fix it. :]
I’m not very familiar with ruby/rvm so I suggest creating a one-click ruby installation droplet and <strong>sticking to the defaults</strong> (e.g. renaming a home dir is <em>bad</em>).
