+Note the *lack* of sudo; you will nearly always want to install this as a regular user, and not as root. Lately, though, this incantation isn't always reliable. This is nearly identical, but more typing:

+````bash
+$ curl -o rvm.sh -L get.rvm.io && cat rvm.sh | bash -s stable
+````
+
+Also, if you're sketchy about piping a web site directly to bash, you can perform each step individually, without the &&:
+
+````bash
+$ curl -o rvm.sh -L get.rvm.io 
+$ less rvm.sh
+$ cat rvm.sh | bash -s stable
+````

+However you get RVM installed, follow this by editing your .bashrc to include this line at the end (if it doesn't have it already):
