As `discourse`. The console output you pasted says it nice and clearly, too:

```
Don't run Bundler as root.

```

Hmm, yeah, that’s never going to end well. Fixed the howto.

Unfortunately, `chmod +x` won’t work because the file doesn’t have a “shebang” (`#!/usr/bin/ruby` or similar) to tell the system what language it’s in. I’ve just changed the howto to run ruby explicitly; if you do that, it’ll work better (or at least break _differently_).
