How to install RVM system requirements without giving sudo access for RVM user

by

This is indeed a new feature of RVM called autolibs, which automatically installs dependencies.

If you have already installed RVM, and it is asking you for your sudo password, you can disable autolibs:

$ rvm autolibs disable
$ rvm requirements # manually install these
$ rvm install ruby

Otherwise, you can install RVM without autolibs with this command:

$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s -- --autolibs=read-fail

I understand the motivation, but find it rather annoying. I do not want to put my sudo password into RVM, nor for that matter Bundle! Please community, stop doing this.
