Question

I am trying to install bundler and Jekyll on macOS and keep getting this error (below). I have tried using chruby and ruby-install (You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.3.0 directory. (mac user)) but still, the problem is not solved. Any hits?

I discovered the problem is due to my mac system permission requirements, so I tried to install jekyll and bundler using chruby and rbenv and ruby-install as detailed in the stackoverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51126403/you-dont-have-write-permissions-for-the-library-ruby-gems-2-3-0-directory-ma) but still I get the same error.

I also tried rbenv global 3.2.2 but still I was not able to solve the problem.

I would appreciate your insights.
