32,043 PointsInstalling a Ruby on Rails Development Evironment in OS X... problem!
Hi.
I'm following along with the console-based installation in the video mentioned above.
When I get to the $ rbenv -v check, I get this:
SmutchMacXX:~ darryn$ rbenv -v
/usr/local/Cellar/rbenv/0.4.0/libexec/rbenv---version: line 17: cd: /Users/darryn/.rbenv: No such file or directory
SmutchMacXX:~ darryn$
I've been poking/Googling around a bit to find solutions but so far haven't found anything very inspiring. I've also looked at trying to uninstall rbenv to start over, but thought I'd check here before I take such drastic measures.
If, perchance, the best advice IS to uninstall/reinstall rbenv, then a brief link or methodology would be appreciated.
Thanks, Treehousers!
P.S.: Running OS X 10.10.3, Xcode 6.3.2 (updated last night), and successfully installed the command line tools as described earlier in the video.

32,043 PointsI discovered that the problem is in this shell command:
echo 'if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi' > ~/.profile
The error is related to the directory/filename at the end. Changed it to:
echo 'if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi' > ~/.bash_profile
Now everything works as it should.
Not sure why the tutorial, apparently staged on an OS X Yosemite machine, wouldn't be using a bash shell, but there's a jillion things I'm unsure of.
