I have never seen RVM instructions that include "gem install rvm". The instructions from the RVM site itself are: To install and/or update the latest code from the github repository ( requires git ):$ bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head ) I think that only people who are already familiar with Ruby and RubyGems will assume that the way to install RVM is with "gem install rvm", but when you think about it, that doesn't make much sense as RVM should manage your Ruby and Gem environments, not be installed within them.

Ah yes, everyone is eager to blindly pipe a remote script into bash.... :-/
Sorry, looks like either installation instructions have changed since I installed it, or I misremembered. I'm pretty sure the system-wide install instructions are new though.

It changed a while ago. The gem just uses a slightly different way to do the same thing. RVM really lives outside of Ruby, so using a gem isn't really appropriate. In fact, it's confusing since it won't update your RVM installation in .rvm if the rvm gem updated.
Ciao!
