RVM Errno::EACCESS pry pry-doc

Question

I got this error message while attempting to perform a global install of pry and pry-doc.

new-host-3:~ UzoAgu$ rvm gemset use global
Using ruby-2.0.0-p247 with gemset global
new-host-3:~ UzoAgu$ gem install pry pry-doc
Fetching: coderay-1.1.0.gem (100%)
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
Permission denied - /Users/UzoAgu/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247@global/cache/coderay-1.1.0.gem

Searching online reveals that pry depends on coderay. Does the above error mean that I have the wrong version of coderay for the particular version of pry-doc I am downloading?

I also noticed that the only gemset in my global is fastercsv. Could this be an issue also?

Thank you

Answer 1

This is how I resolved this issue:

 chown UzoAgu /Users/UzoAgu/.rvm/ -R

and then I ran

bundle install 

The above two steps resolved the permission denied error message.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions:)
