'Getting `No such file or directory` when executing any terminal command (caused by VMware Fusion)

I am using macOS High Sierra and I am getting the following error when trying to install a script:

 sh: Fusion.app/Contents/Public:/Users/<name>/.rvm/bin: No such file or directory

Apparently has something to do either with rvm or Fusion.app, which I don't have that app, what I have is VMWare Fusion.app.

Solution 1:[1]

With VMware Fusion rewriting /etc/paths.d/com.vmware.fusion.public on launch;

Adding this PATH find and replace line to my .bash_profile seems to be working:

export PATH=${PATH//VMware\ F/VMware\\ F}

Solution 2:[2]

This happens because some shell script (in this case perhaps rvm) is not following best practices, specifically:

Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/SC2086

Changing /etc/paths.d/com.vmware.fusion.public as suggested in other answers could break all other places where this variable is wrapped in double quotes.
