How to remove RVM (Ruby Version Manager) from my system (13 answers)

Closed 8 years ago.

I renamed my directory in the finder after installing RVM. Then I created a rails app and tried to run the server in terminal but got the following error that runs on a loop.

ruby-2.0.0-p353 - #gemset created /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353@railstutorial_rails_4_0
mkdir: /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353@railstutorial_rails_4_0/bin: Permission denied
ln: /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353@railstutorial_rails_4_0/cache: No such file or directory

I looked around and think it's RVM and so I ran

rm -rf /.rvm

And:

rvm implode

But returned the following error:

Could not remove '/usr/local/rvm/', please try removing it manually.

I couldn't find it and/or didn't know where to look...

I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me restore my environment/paths by providing step by step (very granual please, I'm new at this) and/or uninstall RVM if that is in fact the problem.

Answer 1

you may need to run sudo rvm implode

Answer 2

You can determine where your rvm is installed by running rvm info

Remove the '/usr/local/rvm/' using sudo, so sudo rm -rf /usr/local/rvm

Have a look at this site, which suggest how to completely remove rvm.
