New Ruby user trouble installing RVM

Before I start, let me say that I looked at all the similar questions and it appears that no one had this particular problem:

I installed git.

Next I ran this from the command line:

bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)

My result is

bash: line 151: git: command not found
bash: line 153: git: command not found

ERROR: Unable to clone the RVM repository, attempted both git:// and https://

What did I do wrong here? I am attempting to install this on osx Lion. Additionally, can someone explain to me what the beginning of the bash command does? bash < <(...)

Just for my own curiosity开发者_Go百科 :)

Thanks!

You need to have git installed first. The command executes the script downloaded with curl from the given url using bash. The <(...) is apparently used to provide a list of commands as per http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/process-sub.html.

You either installed git wrong, or it's not in your path. Have you installed XCode? It should automatically install git 1.7.4 and put it in your path. You'll also need to have XCode installed to be able to compile any ruby versions using RVM.
