When I enter "rails new testapp" in the terminal, I get the following error:
Errno::EACCES: Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /Users/MyName/.rbenv/versions/2.2.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/extensions/x86_64-darwin-14/2.2.0-static/json-1.8.2
An error occurred while installing json (1.8.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install json -v '1.8.2'` succeeds before bundling.
run bundle exec spring binstub --all
bundler: command not found: spring
Install missing gem executables with `bundle install`
I don't get what seems to be the problem here. I've spent four hours looking up the solution but had no luck.
I'm running OSX Yosemite with Ruby 2.2.0 installed along with Rails 4.2.0

Courses Plus Student 26,868 PointsI can see from the output that you're using rbenv, unfortunately I had no experience with rbenv, I only use rvm, and never have any problem.
Maybe give rvm a try see if things work out?

11,706 PointsI have fell into this same problem. Rbenv rehash. This should do the trick. If it doesn't. I would uninstall that version of ruby. Then reinstall rbenv install 2.2.0 then call "rbenv rehash" before installing another gem.
