Install ruby 1.9.2 on debian production server

Question

I have a problem install ruby 1.9.2 on debian using rvm.

The install goes fine, and when i type

rvm use 1.9.2

then it says:

Using /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180

but when I type

ruby -v

I get

ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [x86_64-linux]

just put the rvm path of ruby in front of your path in .bashrc or whatever file you use...

export PATH=$PATH_TO_RVM_RUBY:$PATH

	I have tried this, but it didn't make any difference – jonepatr Oct 24 '11 at 4:54
	You certainly have to load the new environment... Means => spawn a new shell, or get an entire new login session. – mober Oct 25 '11 at 0:06

Can you paste the results of rvm info please?

Did you add the oneliner to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile then open a new shell per the post install instructions?

It would be something like this:

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

Did you do the single user install or system wide?
