Hi Treehouse Community,
I have just started the Ruby on Rails part of my track and one of the first things that I had to install was "rbenv". Just as I was about to install it, i found out that its not compatible with rvm(ruby version manager). Before I was on treehouse, i had tried the Michael Hartl tutorial of Ruby on Rails where I had installed rvm.
Anyway, now i'm finding out that its a bit more challenging than I thought to uninstall rvm. In the terminal I typed:
''' $rvm implode ''' and this is what I got from the terminal: ''' Warning! PATH is not properly set up, '/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353@railstutorial_rails_4_0/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-2.0.0-p353@railstutorial_rails_4_0'. Are you SURE you wish for rvm to implode? This will recursively remove /usr/local/rvm and other rvm traces? (anything other than 'yes' will cancel) > yes Removing rvm-shipped binaries (rvm-prompt, rvm, rvm-sudo rvm-shell and rvm-auto-ruby) Removing rvm wrappers in /usr/local/rvm/bin Hai! Removing /usr/local/rvm rm: /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh: Permission denied Could not remove '/etc/profile.d/rvm.sh', please try removing it manually.
/usr/local/rvm has been removed.
Note you may need to manually remove /etc/rvmrc and ~/.rvmrc if they exist still.
Please check all .bashrc .bash_profile .profile and .zshrc for RVM source lines and delete or comment out if this was a Per-User installation.
Also make sure to remove rvm group if this was a system installation.
Finally it might help to relogin / restart if you want to have fresh environment (like for installing RVM again).
'''
The problem is, i'm not very familiar with Ruby or ruby on rails so i don't know how to remove: ''' /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh ''' Please provide a "step by step" guide on how I can remove this file and also how I can check whether rvm is still on my system.
Thank you very much in advance.
Let me know if there's anything missing.

$ rm /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
$ rm ~/.rvmrc
then you should probably check your bash_profile file and see if there is anything rvm related in there (im using sublime to edit the file, you could use nano, vim or any text editor)
$ cd ~
$ subl .bash_profile
if you see any lines relating to RVM remove them
also check .bashrc
$ subl .bashrc

Courses Plus Student 19,602 PointsThe first set of instructions worked. My text editor has not been synchronised with Sublime Text so "subl .bash_profile" doesn't go through.
However, I am now experiencing another problem. If it persists then I'll post it.

42,016 Pointsyou can use whatever text editor you normally use. you already have nano installed so you could use that
$ nano .bashrc

Courses Plus Student 19,602 PointsOh, that does work. Thanks.
The problem has persisted. Please help me on this forum question: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/missing-the-openssl-lib#
