Should nvm be before rvm in PATH?

Question

Why is nvm added before /home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3/bin in PATH ?

 echo $PATH /home/user/.rvm/bin:/home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v5.1.0/bin:/home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3/bin:/home/user/.rvm/gems/ ruby-2.2.3@global /bin:/home/user/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.3/bin:/home/user/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/home/user/.rvm/bin 

My end .zshrc looks like this:

 export NVM_DIR="/home/user/.nvm" [[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ]] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm export PATH="$HOME/.rvm/bin:$PATH" # Add RVM to PATH for scripting [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function* 

Because of this, I get the following error.

 rvm -v Warning! PATH is not properly set up, '/home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3/bin' is not at first place, usually this is caused by shell initialization files - check them for 'PATH=...' entries, it might also help to re-add RVM to your dotfiles: 'rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles', to fix temporarily in this shell session run: 'rvm use ruby-2.2.3'. rvm 1.26.11 (master) by Wayne E.

rvm expects it to be the first in your PATH . You can disable this warning so that you do not have this problem by adding the following line to your .rvmrc file:

 rvm_silence_path_mismatch_check_flag=1 

This should disable this warning.

Your .rvmrc file should be located at ~/.rvmrc . Create it if it does not exist.

Now make nvm first in your PATH and put rvm after that.
