Hi, I set up Discourse without Docker, or at least wanted to until I got to this step:
```plaintext
bundle exec rake db:create
```
> Errno::EACCES: Permission denied @ rb\_sysopen - /home/discourse/tmp/ember-rails/ember.js

Which development guide are you following?
I think the problem is that your user doesn’t have rights to create a database.

I know, even though I gave the user superuser rights! And I followed [this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-ubuntu-for-development) guide!

My best guess is that the user you created and the user that it’s using are not the same. Not sure what else to tell you, though.

Ah, found out! Some files in the Discourse directory were not writable!
```plaintext
chmod -R 777 .
```

Great! I figured it was something silly, but there are so many little things that it could be!
So you’re all set now?

Yes, it’s solved! Small things can make a big difference!
