Can't use rhc after installation , for openshift

Question

I'm running into a weird issue after installing rhc and vmc. None of the below seems to be working.

For Openshift: https://openshift.redhat.com/app/getting_started

For Cloudfoundry: http://docs.cloudfoundry.com/tools/vmc/installing-vmc.html

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04

root@bose-Vostro-1540:/home/bose# gem install rhc
Successfully installed parseconfig-0.5.2
Successfully installed rhc-0.88.9
2 gems installed

No command 'rhc' found, did you mean:
 Command 'rtc' from package 'nvram-wakeup' (universe)
 Command 'rc' from package 'rc' (universe)
 Command 'rec' from package 'sox' (universe)
 Command 'rcc' from package 'libqt4-dev' (main)
 Command 'rsc' from package 'radare-common' (universe)
 Command 'rvc' from package 'vtgrab' (universe)

A similar issue has been addressed here. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

I'm using rbenv, and got the same problem

use gem list to check whether it's installed, if so, maybe you just need find it and add it to your PATH.

like I do this

ln -s /home/fengyl/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rhc-1.4.8/bin/rhc /home/fengyl/.rbenv/shims/

Answer 3

Try not installing it with sudo.

gem install rhc

worked for me,

sudo gem install rhc

did not. The docs ask you to do the former.

Answer 4

I am one of the OpenShift developers working on the client tools and using RVM to test my versions locally with no issues.

If you are using RVM, your $PATH should include something like this (I am using 1.9.3 with a gemset for my client-tools).

$ echo $PATH | tr : \\n 
/home/fotios/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125@client-tools/bin
/home/fotios/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125@global/bin
/home/fotios/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin
/home/fotios/.rvm/bin
...

$ which rhc
~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125@client-tools/bin/rhc

If not, there may be a problem with your .bashrc/.profile. Check out the RVM installation notes or run rvm notes to ensure everything is working properly.

This happens to me right now, none of the current answers solve it.

Here's how I fixed the problem (add ruby gems to your path):

PATH="`ruby -e 'puts Gem.user_dir'`/bin:$PATH"
