I have done multiple searches for installing SASS through my terminal on my Mac, when I write the command gem install sass, it tells me
-bash: $: command not found"
so I tried the alternative sudo install process. My result is
-bash: $: command not found".
Am I missing something here?
Sorry for the dumb question. I'm just a web designer/developer trying to learn SASS, I did get a response once telling me this "WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information. To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort. Password:"(My typing was correct) so I type my PW. it then tells me it's the wrong PW. - I have one PW on this machine. What am I doing wrong?
I did get this error message after a third try " You don't have write permissions into the /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8 directory.
Jasons-MacBook-Pro:~ JHess$ "
Do I not have the right permissions set up to perform the SASS install? I found a similar question on Stack regarding this issue - and it told me to install RVM. What exactly is RVM? Is it some type of bundled package?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I just attended a web conference in VA, "ConvergeRVA" and just recently graduated college, I'm not a seasoned vet like most peeps on here. But I would love to start learning SASS.
Note: I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
In order to use Sass you need Ruby installed. The error messages shows you have an old version 1.8.7
Update to a current version using RVM.
RVM is a command-line tool which allows you to easily install, manage, and work with multiple ruby environments
Copy and paste this into your terminal.
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
look at http://screencasts.org/episodes/how-to-use-rvm to learn how to use it.
After this is done try gem install sass again
You haven't installed Mac OS X Command Line Tools. It can be found at:
Xcode > Preferences > Downloads > Command Line Tool
Download & Install it, and restart the Terminal.

I am trying to install jekyll.
I run gem install bundler jekyll
After installing gems I run bundle init and get
bash: bundle: command not found
How can I fix it?
You can get a gem's directory using gem which. For example:
$ gem which jekyll
/home/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.6.4/gems/jekyll-4.0.0/lib/jekyll.rb
Then append the directory to your PATH:
$ export PATH="$PATH:/home/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.6.4:"
The reason why you are getting "command not found" after installing gems is because they were installed in a location that your bash shell does not yet know about. The way the computer looks up commands is by looking at the PATH, which is a list of folders where the computer should look for commands, such as bundle. The previous answer is on the right track, but unfortunately, the gem which command will only tell you about locations that are already in your PATH, which might not include the folder where bundler and jekyll were installed.
The location of the gems depends on how you installed Ruby, so without knowing that, I can't tell you what to put in your PATH. What I can tell you is that what you are experiencing is unfortunately very common, but there is a fix. To avoid needless frustration and to help people like you, I wrote a script that will automatically set up a proper Ruby environment for you, including updating your PATH and everything else that is necessary to be able to install gems and use them right away without getting any errors. Check out the links at the bottom of this answer to learn more about my script.
In the meantime, I can make some guesses and see if I can help. If you installed Ruby with Homebrew, then this should fix it:
Run this command:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
And then quit and restart your terminal. Now you should be able to run bundle init.
If you are reading this and you are not the original poster, you might need to replace .bash_profile in the command above with .zshrc depending on which shell you are using. You can tell by looking at the error. If you are using zsh, it will say zsh: bundle: command not found.

I upgraded my Mac to the new OSX 10.10.
brew update failed with:
/usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/brew: line 23: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: Undefined error: 0
I tried to follow "Getting a "bad interpreter" error when using brew", but I couldn't get it working.
I do not have Ruby in /usr/local/bin or /user/bin, which may be for same reason which ruby returns nothing.
I have Xcode 5.1 with the command line tools installed. Whenever I start terminal I get:
-bash: /etc/profile.d/sm.sh: No such file or directory
-bash: /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh: No such file or directory
Can anyone suggest possible solutions?
First off upgrade Xcode to 6.1 This is the version that works with Yosemite.
After that make sure you RUN Xcode and Agree to the license ( i know it sucks ).
Note: After Updating My "Oh My Zsh" tools and restarting Xcode it installed some command line tools that I'm pretty sure are important.
There are things to note:
Mac OSX does come with a Ruby preinstalled in /bin/ruby. That is Apple's own installation, used for some of their tools, and basically should be ignored. Updating it could break those tools, and worse, deleting it, will break them. Trying to reinstall it is a pain, so it's better to pretend it isn't there.
We generally recommend using either RVM or rbenv to manage/install any other Ruby version. Those tools are well tested and make it easy to switch back and forth between versions.
rbenv is easier to manage but lacks some of the features of RVM.
Closely follow the RVM installation instructions if you go that way; We see a lot of questions on Stack Overflow caused by people who ignore the directions, or who follow directions on a different site besides RVM's home site. (The RVM authors really do know better than anyone else how to make it work.)
Brew can install Ruby, but switching between versions gets stickier.
It sounds like your PATH variable doesn't include /usr/bin, which is odd, because it should. If it did, it should find the default Ruby.
echo $PATH
will display your search path. It's editable and, if
ls /usr/bin/ruby
shows that Ruby does exist in /usr/bin then you should add it back into the path. You can do that by editing ~/.bashrc, but also check ~/.bash_profile to make sure something isn't messing up the path. And, if you don't understand how the path works, take the time to read about it, because a badly set-up PATH variable can slow your use of the command-line, or cause all sorts of weirdness.
By default there is no /usr/local/bin/ruby. It won't exist using RVM or rbenv either, but Homebrew will probably put a symlink; I don't have it supplying my Ruby, so I can't check that.
I am a beginner trying to setup a developer environment on my new Mac following the steps from this link: http://vanderveer.be/setting-up-my-perfect-developer-environment-on-osx-10-8-mountain-lion-10-8-2-final-edition/.
After executing the files from git, my terminal window now shows:
rbenv: version `1.9.3-p194' not installed
-bash: __git_ps1: command not found
The first line only shows when I open a new terminal window, while the second shows everytime I press return no matter what I type into the terminal.
I have read through many questions on stackoverflow and tried to mimic their solutions to no avail. I think I've made a mistake in installing the package from git as I am not so experienced and I think now I may have messed up the configurations, and was also wondering if there is any way to go back to default settings for bash?
Many thanks!

If you've not installed a newer version of Git on your Mac, start by doing that. You can grab the download from here: http://git-scm.com/download
Once it's installed, you should source git-completion.sh and git-prompt.sh from your ~/.profile (or ~/.bashrc, if you have it):
source /usr/local/git/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash
source /usr/local/git/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh
That should fix the __git_ps1 error.
I'm not a Rubyist, but the rbenv error is coming from the fact that the setup in the dotfiles you are following is trying to set the default Ruby version to "1.9.3-p194". The rbenv tool is there to make a number of different Ruby versions available, but you have to install them first. In your case, I think you need to run this:
rbenv install 1.9.3-p194
After that, the version will be available, and you shouldn't see the warning anymore.
I am an amateur front-end web developer with a decent handle on html5, css, and jquery. Recently, I have been venturing into unknown territory with Ruby on Rails. After watching my fair share of tutorials, I figured I would give it a try.
Thus, I installed Ruby & Rails via http://railsinstaller.org; however, after install, it was suggested that I download the LATEST versions through RVM. Thus, I uninstalled railsinstaller and attempted to install Ruby on Rails through RVM, but I kept receiving a permission denied error whenever I would try to run the initial terminal \curl command.
I searched for troubleshooting tips online and found a few that seemed helpful. Unfortunately, now not only is RVM not installed, my terminal director is all screwed up.
Whenever I launch terminal, it says
-bash: /etc/profile.d/sm.sh: No such file or directory
-bash: /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh: No such file or directory
-bash: export: `/Users/joebruno/.rvm/scripts/rvm': not a valid identifier
and my terminal commands no longer work. How do I reset my terminal directory?
I am trying to setup my computer for Ruby on Rails development. All new to this.
Though I have had some problems with my Rails installation and want to reset everything and start again on setting it up.
The problem I get now is installing and using bash in Terminal except of the installed zsh.
I´m trying the command ➜ ~ rvm install 1.9.2
but only get:
zsh: correct 'rvm' to 'rvim' [nyae]?
which opens the file in an texteditor.
Isn´t it supposed to be a downloadable file, which should be installed automaticly ?
It sounds like rvm is not on your path. You could specify the executable location explicitly:
~/.rvm/rvm install 1.9.2
(or maybe /usr/local/rvm/rvm depending on where you installed it)
