If that `rbenv init` call runs correctly, then it should have add the rbenv’s `shim` directory to the path. You can check the PATH variable and which Ruby is found as follows, and you should see something like this:

```auto
$ echo $PATH
/Users/me/.rbenv/shims:...

$ which ruby
/Users/me/.rbenv/shims/ruby

```
