Jim Hoskins Jason Seifer ? can you help please?

If you dont have RVM id get that first

$ \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

then you can uninstall whatever gems you want (rails, devise, etc) using

$ rvm remove gemname-1.0.0

where the number following the gem name is your version number.

I dont recommend completely removing Ruby though. You could just reinstall it and get the version you need using

$ rvm install 1.9.3

where the numbers following the install command is the version of ruby you want.

Thanks for the response,

I tried your suggestions but got a bunch of error messages, I think i may have tired a few to many things that were wrong before asking in this forum.

As i am unable to install RVM is there a way to remove all of the above with RBENV (as this is already installed)? then can i remove RBENV and start from scratch?

thanks again!

The following is the specific error I get when I attempt the method above.

$ rvm -v Warning! PATH is not properly set up, '/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392/bin' is not at first place, usually this is caused by shell initialization files - check them for 'PATH=...' entries, it might also help to re-add RVM to your dotfiles: 'rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles', to fix temporarily in this shell session run: 'rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p392'.

Hey Adam, I am on OS X 10.8.5 ... Ive just tried to use the treehouse VM version and that too will not install.

Any help on getting back to a clean slate would be awesome.

Thanks Adam, I have tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling, but still getting the same errors... Ive checked out the error codes on various sites and followed the tutorials repeatedly.

I was hoping there was a 'method' to follow for the process to work out if im missing something rather than just trying every option.

At this stage I am able to get the console output back to my original(apple) version of ruby, with no rbenv and no gems/rails.

Thanks for your help, any other thoughts please let me know!

Thanks Adam,

hoping to hear from the teachers soon.

I will give cloud9 a go and try to keep the forum tidy!

cheers!
