I'm having trouble installing rubies using the multi-user RVM installation

Question

I followed the instructions on the RVM website on how to perform a multi-user installation. When I try to install the ruby ​​version, I get the following:

$ /usr/local/rvm$ rvm install 1.9.2 Installing Ruby from source to: /usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290, this may take a while depending on your cpu(s)... ruby-1.9.2-p290 - #fetching ruby-1.9.2-p290 - #downloading ruby-1.9.2-p290, this may take a while depending on your connection...

Halting the installation. ERROR: There has been an error fetching the ruby interpreter. Halting the installation. 

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You tried to use

 rvmsudo rvm install 1.9.2 

Answer 2

I fixed the same problem without any sudo stuff, which is completely not recommended using the upisdown solution in this question.
