rbenv: -bash: rbenv: command not found

I’m running Mac 10.9 with Xcode 5.0.1 Command Line Tools installed. I’m trying to follow rbenv’s “Installation” steps under “Basic GitHub Checkout”:

git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile

…I restart Terminal and receive this error:

-bash: rbenv: command not found

My .bash_profile previously contained these paths for node/npm and git:

export PATH=“/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH”

…after following the steps above my .bash_profile now looks like this:

export PATH=“/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH” eval “$(rbenv init -)”

Here are my troubleshooting answers:

which rbenv (no response)

…and:

echo $PATH | grep --color=auto "$(rbenv root)/shims" -bash: rbenv: command not found

Any ideas as to what I need to edit in my .bash_profile to get rbenv working?

Restart your shell exec -l $SHELL

The install command is provided by ruby-build, not rbenv, and requires additional steps to install.

@alishahpakneeds that command you shared solved my problem to install ruby, thank you.
