## Installation
- Info: I don’t use Jekyll
```shell
patrick@lp:~ > sudo gem install jekyll
[sudo] password for patrick: 
ERROR:  Error installing jekyll:
        jekyll requires Ruby version >= 2.0.0.
```
```shell
patrick@lp:~ > rvm --default use 2.1.1

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

You need to change your terminal emulator preferences to allow login shell.
Sometimes it is required to use `/bin/bash --login` as the command.
Please visit https://rvm.io/integration/gnome-terminal/ for an example.
```
```shell
patrick@lp:~ > /bin/bash --login
```
```shell
patrick@lp:~ > rvm --default use 2.1.1
ruby-2.1.1 is not installed.
To install do: 'rvm install ruby-2.1.1'
```
```shell
patrick@lp:~ > rvm
= rvm

RVM is the Ruby enVironment Manager (rvm).

   --bin         :: path for binaries to be placed (~/.rvm/bin/)
-S               :: Specify a script file to attempt to load and run (rubydo)
-e               :: Execute code from the command line.
--gems           :: Used to set the 'gems_flag', use with 'remove' to remove
                    gems

                      --patch /.../.../a.patch[%prefix],/.../.../.../b.patch

                    'prefix' is an optional argument, which will be bypassed
                    to the '-p' argument of the 'patch' command. It is separated
                    from patch file name with '%' symbol.
-C|--configure   :: custom configure options. If you need to pass several

                    command line.
--with-rubies    :: Specifies a string for rvm to attempt to expand for set
                    operations.

== Action

(Note: for most actions, 'rvm help action-name' may provide more information.)

*usage*     :: show this usage information
version     :: show the rvm version installed in rvm_path
use         :: setup current shell to use a specific ruby version
reload      :: reload rvm source itself (useful after changing rvm source)
implode     :: (seppuku) removes the rvm installation completely.

               This means everything in $rvm_path (~/.rvm || /usr/local/rvm).

               This does not touch your profiles. However, this means that you
               must manually clean up your profiles and remove the lines which
               source RVM.
get         :: {head,stable} upgrades rvm to latest head or stable version.

               Check 'rvm help get' for more details.

               (If you experience bugs try this first with head version, then
               ask for help in #rvm on irc.freenode.net and hang around)
reset       :: remove current and stored default & system settings.

               (If you experience odd behavior try this second)
info        :: show the *current* environment information for current ruby
current     :: print the *current* ruby version and the name of any gemset
               being used.
debug       :: show info plus additional information for common issues

install     :: install one or many ruby versions

               See also: https://rvm.io/rubies/installing/
uninstall   :: uninstall one or many ruby versions, leaves their sources
remove      :: uninstall one or many ruby versions and remove their sources
reinstall   :: reinstall ruby and runs gem pristine on all gems,
               make sure to read output, use 'all' for all rubies.

migrate     :: Lets you migrate all gemsets from one ruby to another.
upgrade     :: Lets you upgrade from one version of a ruby to another, including
               migrating your gemsets semi-automatically.

wrapper     :: generates a set of wrapper executables for a given ruby with the
               specified ruby and gemset combination. Used under the hood for
               passenger support and the like.

cleanup     :: Lets you remove stale source folders / archives and other
               miscellaneous data associated with rvm.

do          :: runs an arbitrary command against specified and/or all rubies
cron        :: Manages setup for using ruby in cron tasks.

gemset      :: gemsets: https://rvm.io/gemsets/

rubygems    :: Switches the installed version of rubygems for the current ruby.

config-get  :: display values for RbConfig::CONFIG variables.
