rvm command not found

So I created a Projects directory within my treehouse directory and started the VM.

Below is are my commands/response from Terminal: 

  Davids-MacBook-Pro:treehouse davidjahns$ cd Projects
  Davids-MacBook-Pro:Projects davidjahns$ ruby -v
  ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45877) [x86_64-darwin13.0]
  Davids-MacBook-Pro:Projects davidjahns$ rvm use 2.1.2
  -bash: rvm: command not found

I assumed I needed to type "rvm use (current version) instead of the 1.9.3.

Is there something I'm missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey David,

There's a chance that rvm might not be loaded when you open a new terminal. Try running this:

echo "source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bash_profile

This should add the path to rvm so it loads each time you open a new terminal window. Be sure to close the window after you run this and open a new one to make sure that it works!

I hope that helps!
