RVM错误和解决:"RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work."

When you run a rvm command such as

$ rvm use 1.9.3

but receive an error message of

RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work.

This error happens because under RVM's installation directory(normally $HOME/.rvm/bin), there is an executable named' rvm'; whereas under $HOME/.rvm/scripts directory, there isa script called ' rvm' .By  default, the 'rvm' executable is used,which cannot handle many rvm commands such as 'rvmuse'. 

One should load RVM into a shell session as a function (runthe ' rvm'  script). To do that, add thefollowing line to '~/.bash_profile':

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" #load RVM into a shell session as a function



PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin #Add RVM to PATH for scripting

Open a new terminal or run the following command to reload/.bash_profile in the current terminal. The problem should besolved.

$ source ~/.bash_profile
