Installing SASS

When I run gem install sass in the command line on Mac I get the following:

Fetching: sass-3.3.9.gem (100%) ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError) You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory

Any ideas on what has gone wrong and a resolve?
