When installing Discourse (for development) on my Mac I get this error: ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError) You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0 directory. How can I resolve this? Thanks.

Did you run through the script install of Discourse here? [תמונה] Install Discourse on macOS for development Developer Guides warning This guide covers installation instructions for a macOS development environment, for production guides see: Install Discourse in production with the official supported instructions So you want to set up Discourse on macOS to hack on and develop with? We’ll assume that you don’t have Ruby/Rails/Postgres/Redis installed on your Mac. Let’s begin rocket ! Install Discourse Dependencies You will need the following packages on your system: Git rbenv or asdf ruby-build Ruby (latest s… Are you running macOS Catalina? If that’s the case, it sounds like you’re running into Discourse trying to use the system version of ruby. You’ll want to use something like rbenv to set your ruby version to avoid this.

Can you paste the output of which rbenv? And do you have a custom .bashrc or .zshrc?

[תמונה] justin: Can you paste the output of which rbenv ? /usr/local/bin/rbenv [תמונה] justin: And do you have a custom .bashrc or .zshrc ? Not really sure. I don’t think so but maybe.

Can you cd into your discourse directory and share the output of which ruby?

Oops, didn’t notice. I did it and got /usr/bin/ruby

Okay, so you’re using the system ruby for Discourse which is why you’re getting that issue. Check the PATH variable by typing in echo $PATH. You should see /Users/ /.rbenv/bin and /Users/ /.rbenv/shims listed in there. If not, add them in your shell’s configuration file .bashrc or .zshrc. For ZSH you can add it like this: export PATH=/path/number/1:/path/number/2:$PATH If you do see them, check to see what order they’re in. If they are later in the chain, they’re probably not getting loaded before the system ruby meaning the system ruby is being used for Discourse. You can use the same approach above for moving the paths further up the chain.

I thought @david added a Ruby version check to our dev environment stuff? :thinking:

I believe that was for the theme cli.

Is there some way to add an equivalent check here?

I am running MacOS Catalina. And I did run that script but it failed half way through because it was installed I think.
