You probably want to look in /usr/bin/ to find stuff. Assuming RVM was installed properly, you should be check it quickly by running rvm list to see which Rubies RVM is managing. If you need to use a different version install it like this:

rvm install ruby-X.X.X

rvm --default use ruby-X.X.X

You probably already had a random Ruby installed just by having OSX but probably not rails. Since rails is just a gem you can add it with

gem search '^rails$' --all # to find rails versions available to you.

gem install rails -v rails_version # replace rails_version with the specific version you want, i.e. 5.1.4
