RVM installation + ssh

Question

I have installed RVM (ruby version manager) on a production server (with CentOS).

I have installed it as a user (e.g. foobar) and not as root. (Is this a bad idea?)

Now everything works correctly except that whenever I ssh to my server (e.g. ssh foobar@example.com) RVM doesn't get loaded and I always have to run a login shell (e.g. bash --login) to start using the correct version of ruby and gems.

.bash_profile and .bashrc for user foobar seems to be properly configured.

I would like to know if this is my fault (a bad configuration), or everyone using RVM is facing this issue.

`$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby` (as seen here: https://rvm.io) — collimarco, Feb 16 '13 at 09:51
I have executed that command through ssh (`ssh foobar@example.com` and then I executed that command from the shell; nothing else). — collimarco, Feb 16 '13 at 09:53
So what you need to sort out is: why you don't get a login shell when you ssh to the remote host. Contact the system administrator of the remote machine. — Michael Hampton, Jul 10 '13 at 23:13

I do not have this problem on my CentOS 6. You need to have a login shell for rvm (if you have installed it as root) installs a rvm.sh script under /etc/profile.d. This is read by login shells only.
