Permission denied issues when use rvm install ruby 2.0.0

Question

I searched lots of contents, but still can not find what's the reason, I'm sure the rvm folder permission should be right.

$ rvm get stable

A RVM version 1.20.13 (master) is installed yet 1.20.13 () is loaded.
Please do one of the following:
  * 'rvm reload'
  * open a new shell
  * 'echo rvm_auto_reload_flag=1 >> ~/.rvmrc' # for auto reload with msg.
  * 'echo rvm_auto_reload_flag=2 >> ~/.rvmrc' # for silent auto reload.

And check the rvm version:

$ rvm --version

rvm 1.20.13 (master) by Wayne E. Seguin <[email protected]>, Michal Papis <[email protected]> [https://rvm.io/]

Then install ruby 2.0.0:

$ rvm install 2.0.0

mkdir: /Users/xudannie/.rvm/log/ruby-2.0.0-p195: Permission denied
mkdir: /Users/xudannie/.rvm/log/ruby-2.0.0-p195: Permission denied

Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: osx/10.7/x86_64/ruby-2.0.0-p195.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Installing requirements for osx, might require sudo password.

There has been an error while trying to extract the source. Halting the installation.
There has been an error fetching the ruby interpreter. Halting the installation.

I'm just start to learning ROR, so there is too much problems I need to face.

Hope your help!

Try runing sudo rvm install 2.0.0 and if this doesn't work just run sudo chmod a+rw -R ~/.rvm and then rvm install 2.0.0 once again.
