I installed RVM in my Ubuntu 17.10 but when I try to install Ruby I have this error:

$ rvm install 2.5.0
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: ubuntu/17.10/x86_64/ruby-2.5.0.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more    information on binary rubies.

If I try to install libreadline6-dev with apt-get I receive this error:

Here is how I solved that issue in Ubuntu 17.10:

First, install the required dependencies one by one, this can be done by executing:

sudo apt install libreadline6

sudo apt install libreadline6-dev

sudo apt install libgmp-dev

sudo apt install software-properties-common

Then proceed with the normal installation instructions:

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:rael-gc/rvm

sudo apt update

sudo apt install rvm

source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

rvm install 2.5.0

If you want, I can share screenshots of the process that I followed, step by step.

Hope it helps.
