zsh: permission denied: bin/rake

Question

I have recently bought a new Macbook and have installed Rails, Ruby, Git, Homebrew, and Postgres successfully. I can open my app in atom but when I try to run a migration or drop the database, ZSH gives me a permission denied error. Is there something I'm missing / have forgotten to install?

➜ SYT git:(master) ✗ bin/rake db:migrate zsh: permission denied: bin/rake ➜ SYT git:(master) ✗ bin/rake db:drop zsh: permission denied: bin/rake

My computer's name is Bonaparte: `➜ SYT git:(master) ✗ ls -la bin` `total 48` `drwxr-xr-x@ 8 Bonaparte staff 272 20 Jul 17:25 .` `drwxr-xr-x@ 22 Bonaparte staff 748 21 Jul 18:02 ..` `-rw-rw-rw-@ 1 Bonaparte staff 129 15 Jun 2014 bundle` `-rw-rw-rw-@ 1 Bonaparte staff 219 10 Mar 14:59 rails` `-rw-rw-rw-@ 1 Bonaparte staff 164 15 Jun 2014 rake` `-rw-rw-rw-@ 1 Bonaparte staff 372 8 Jul 18:12 rspec` `-rw-rw-rw-@ 1 Bonaparte staff 805 10 Mar 14:59 setup` `-rw-rw-rw-@ 1 Bonaparte staff 461 10 Mar 14:59 spring` — Leah Huyghe, Jul 22 '15 at 22:14

Apparently the contents of bin directory do not have permission to be executed. You can fix it with

chmod +x bin/*
