rvm <version here> --default OR rvm use <version here> --default

This is clever, but there's a much better way that works much better with CentOS: Software collections. Consider this as an alternative to what's basically an OS-uncontrolled source compile on your system: https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/?search=ruby

Lovely tutorial for this. Has been mentioned before, but I needed to change source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh to source ~/.profile apart from that though, very good!
