I have read everything I can find for three days but must be missing something very fundamental. I am using Lion and operating at terminal mode. Understand easiest way is with rvm, but when I try to install and insert the code below after bash-3.2$ : $ bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer) i get a bash: $: command not found I feel like a dork can someone tell me what I am missing. Hopefully, once i get rvm running, upgrading will be a cinch :-) Also, it is clear I need to learn how to operate in the terminal/shell mode, can someone recommend a tutorial?
