Rvm ruby Permission denied

Question

I have installed rvm for multiuser,

when I am doing bundle install, it is giving me error,

linux:/var/rails_apps$ bundle install ERROR: RVM Ruby not used, run `rvm use ruby` first.          linux:/var/rails_apps$ rvm use ruby mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/rvm/log/ruby-2.0.0-p247': Permission denied 

I already did,

sudo chmod 777 /var/rails_apps/ 

Please suggest..

Answer 1

You have a multiuser installation of rvm - this is not recommended because of the troubles you can get with it (like yours).

Since you are already there this should fix it:

rvmsudo rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles rvm fix-permissions system 

Also make sure you are in rvm group - if not add yourself:

rvm group add rvm $USER 

and log in to a new shell (log out and log back in).
