Installing RVM: "Requirements installation failed with status: 1."

Question

Here is the last thing I saw before the command prompt:

Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
Found remote file https://rvm.io/binaries/osx/10.9/x86_64/ruby-2.1.1.tar.bz2
Checking requirements for osx.
About to install Homebrew, press `Enter` for default installation in `/usr/local`,
type new path if you wish custom Homebrew installation (the path needs to be writable for user)
: Requirements installation failed with status: 1.

I don't think it made it to the point that I could press Enter

Answer 1

If anyone else encounters this particular "status: 1" error (I know a number of people have received this, but it seems for different reasons)... I can confirm depa's comment and will add to it to create an answer to the question:

I just had to install Homebrew myself using the command from brew.sh:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Then when I ran the RVM install command again it worked fine.

It seems RVM had a problem installing Homebrew on my machine for some reason.

Answer 2

Just ran Drewdavid's command and received the following:

Whoops, the Homebrew installer has moved! Please instead run:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Also, please ask wherever you got this link from to update it to the above.

Answer 3

For people deploying on Amazon Server or on linux needs to use

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Followed by brew install gcc , then Restart your system(logout and log in) and then rvm install ruby -version

Answer 4

I opened Xcode manually and OK'd the license agreement to get it working properly.

Answer 5

I just went to: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?=for%20Xcode and installed the latest Command line tools and retried the install and it worked.
