Just in case someone uses this as installation instructions, there's a (small but important) missing step. After installing via bash and before installing any rubies, add this to your shell's startup file:
Then open a new shell and check the output of `type rvm | head -1`. It should return "rvm is a function".
Maybe more importantly, run `rvm notes` before installing any rubies. Many operating systems will need to install various development packages first. `rvm notes` will tell you what you are likely to need for your OS.
Fair enough and a good point. I hang out in #rvm on irc though, and a reasonable number of people manage not to read the notes the installer spits out (or the docs online, which are excellent). But it's a good point, nonetheless.
