      RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work.

    answer :- console is not running as a login shell so no access to rvm function.

    • Edit -> Profile Preferences
    • select tab: Title and Command
    • check box Run command as a login shell
    • restart terminal
