I'm trying to install Ruby using RVM on a Macbook Pro running Mavericks. I'm a little over my head, but whenever I type in rvm install 2.1 it fails and gives me the following error:

Error running 'requirements_osx_brew_update_system ruby-2.1.1', showing last 15 lines of /Users/ianvshuff/.rvm/log/1396019921_ruby-2.1.1/update_system.log https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Common-Issues and make sure `brew update` works before continuing.' ++ rvm_pretty_print stderr ++ case "${rvm_pretty_print_flag:=auto}" in ++ case "${TERM:-dumb}" in ++ case "$1" in ++ [[ -t 2 ]] ++ return 1 ++ printf %b 'Failed to update Homebrew, follow instructions here: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Common-Issues and make sure `brew update` works before continuing.\n' Failed to update Homebrew, follow instructions here: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Common-Issues and make sure `brew update` works before continuing. ++ return 1 Requirements installation failed with status: 1. 

Xcode is installed and everything. Anyone know what's going on?

  • Welcome to Stack Overflow. If "RVM INSTALL 2.1" is not really what you type in, please use the real text you enter. *nix is case-sensitive and RVM INSTALL would fail with a "command not found" type of error. If you were trying to call-out your text to make it more visible, then please read the Stack Overflow editing help. It will make your life easier, and will encourage others to read and answer your questions. Commented Mar 28, 2014 at 17:03
  • Absolutely, I will make sure to note that and I'll post differently from now on. Thank you! Commented Mar 28, 2014 at 18:03

It looks like RVM is trying to install some requirements by using Homebrew, which is not installed or configured correctly. You can install Homebrew, or type rvm requirements and try to resolve them manually.
