How do I fix the “You don't have write permissions into the /usr/bin directory” error when installing...
I'm trying to install Rails 3 on a brand new MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.3, Ruby 1.8.7, and Rails 2.3.5 and I'm wondering if I've hosed myself. So far, I've run these commands:
$ gem update --system
$ gem install arel tzinfo builder memcache-client rack rack-test rack-mount erubis mail text-format thor bundler i18n
$ gem install rails --pre
However, when I run the last command, I get this error:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions into the /usr/bin directory.
I think it wants me to run the command with sudo so that it can write over /usr/bin/rails. But if I do that, won't I be overwriting my Rails 2.3.5 executable? I don't want to do that. Instead, I'd like to keep both versions of Rails. How do I do that?

I'd suggest using RVM it allows you have multiple versions of Ruby/Rails installed with gem profiles and basically keep all your gems contained from one another. You may want to check out a similar post How can I install Ruby on Rails 3 on OSX

Using the -n /usr/local/bin flag does work, BUT I had to come back to this page every time I wanted to update a package again. So I figured out a permanent fix for this.
For those interested in fixing this permanently:
Create a ~/.gemrc file
`vim .gemrc`
Add the following to it:
`:gemdir:
- ~/.gem/ruby
install: -n /usr/local/bin`
Now you can run your command normally without the -n flag.
Enjoy!

This Error hit me after installing RVM correctly.
Solution: re-boot Terminal.

For me, something different worked, that I found in on this answer from a similar question. Probably won't help OP, but maybe someone like me that had a similar problem.
You should indeed use rvm, but as no one explained to you how to do this without rvm, here you go:
sudo gem install tzinfo builder memcache-client rack rack-test rack-mount
abstract erubis activesupport mime-types mail text-hyphen text-format
thor i18n rake bundler arel railties rails --prerelease --force

Using the -n /usr/local/bin flag does work, BUT I had to come back to this page every time I wanted to update a package again. So I figured out a permanent fix for this.
For those interested in fixing this permanently:
Create a ~/.gemrc file
`vim .gemrc`
Add the following to it:
`:gemdir:
- ~/.gem/ruby
install: -n /usr/local/bin`
Now you can run your command normally without the -n flag.
Enjoy!

I am not sure this will work in Window$, but I guess you could use Notepad.

This Error hit me after installing RVM correctly.
Solution: re-boot Terminal.
Reference RailsCast's RVM Install tutorial.

Not exactly 7 years later, but this works also if you're working on windows bash subsystem. Just exit the bash and launch it again. Thank you.

For me, something different worked, that I found in on this answer from a similar question. Probably won't help OP, but maybe someone like me that had a similar problem.
You should indeed use rvm, but as no one explained to you how to do this without rvm, here you go:
sudo gem install tzinfo builder memcache-client rack rack-test rack-mount
abstract erubis activesupport mime-types mail text-hyphen text-format
thor i18n rake bundler arel railties rails --prerelease --force
