Re: [solved]WARN: You don't have /home/rob/.gem/ruby/2.3.0/bin in PATH,

Followed the guide and now I get this when I open my terminal.

bash: /home/rob/.bashrc: line 11: conditional binary operator expected
bash: /home/rob/.bashrc: line 11: syntax error near `"$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"'
bash: /home/rob/.bashrc: line 11: `[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"'
[rob@archpc ~]$ 

bashrc

#
# ~/.bashrc
#

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

You are missing a space between the close quote and the ]].

Worse yet, that digitalocean guide starts with a partial upgrade.  Don't follow that if you want your system to keep working.

Understood... I should have been more specific in regards to the path... meaculpa.
But in my defense I just used it today to install "rails" . But forward now.... I know better.
Kind Regards

I did the partial upgrade. Is there anything I should do to "undo" this mistake? Also, does anyone have a comment about my origional post?

Just do a -Syu.

As for a better approach to managing gems; I use chruby and ruby-build.

Re: [solved]WARN: You don't have /home/rob/.gem/ruby/2.3.0/bin in PATH,

I did the partial upgrade...

While such partial upgrades *can* be a real problem, a fair portion of the time they can also be harmless.  The more often you update (`pacman -Syu`) in general, the less likely that a partial upgrade will cause any real trouble.  A pacman -Syu is always the first fix.  If the upgrade proceeds without issue, you're perfectly in the clear.

Partial upgrades are like playing Russian Roulette.  Five out of six times absolutely nothing bad will happen...

Thank you for your continued support and quick reply.
My problem was solved when I added

PATH="$(ruby -e 'print Gem.user_dir')/bin:$PATH"

to bashrc
