problem running bundle install

I'm a new ruby on rails user and was just going through the tutorial at:

All was going ok until I got to section 3.3 Installing the Required Gems

at that point, the tutorial instructs you to run bundle install, which I did. Then I got this message:

Fetching source index for http://rubygems.org/

We trust you have recieved the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.     #2) Think before you type.     #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Enter your password to install the bundled RubyGems to your system:

What is up with the password? What do I have to become a member of to run the software?

I don't know what is wrong with your installation .But ,no you don't have to be a member to run the command.

Hi,

i think that bundler tries to install the gems globally for all users on your machine. It means into your system's gem repository. So you need to input the root password or your password if you're in the admin group to allow write access. If you want to install gems in your home dir have a look at this site [0]. Or make your life easy and use RVM[1].

Max.

Hi,

Maksim Gudovsikov is right.

You can go through that option. Or simply first login as root user at your terminal and than try to run bundle install.

Thanks
