RVM is not available on Windows. You have three alternatives:

1. Install Ruby using the Ruby Installer for Windows

2. Use uru (a Ruby picker for Windows) https://bitbucket.org/jonforums/uru/src/master/

3. Use Bash on Windows (either through the Ubuntu subsystem or cygwin) and install RVM from there

Best,

Following the instructions for a brand new installation of Asciidoctor on Windows 10, the step after the installation of Ruby is

"Before installing Asciidoctor using gem install, you should set up RVM to install Ruby in your home directory (i.e., user space)."

The RVM instruction to install RVM stable with Ruby on "any other system" than Ubuntu is the command:

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

but this command does not work with standard Windows Command Prompt, nor with "Start Command Prompt with Ruby" which appeared after Ruby installation.

How can I install RVM at this point?

Thanks in advance.
