I get stuck at "apt-get install curl"

I just installed ubuntu-14.10-desktop-i386. 

 

This is my tale of woe:

- - -

ralph@ubuntu:~$ sudo su[sudo] password for ralph: root@ubuntu:/home/ralph# apt-get install curlReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree       Reading state information... DonePackage curl is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, oris only available from another source- - -

Where is curl supposed to be?

 

Is there a distribution that includes everything I might need in order to install Rails?

when I run 

source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

bash: /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh: No such file or directory

I got the above error. Any advise?

Thanks for this. After several failed attempts following other guides, I followed this and installed successfully on Ubuntu Server 16.04.

One additional step, for my server: I want every user to default to the same version of ruby. So (as root), I added this step:echo "source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh" >> /etc/bash.bashrc
