I am trying to install Rails on my Mac OS v10.10.4 system, and it fails when I run brew install rbenv ruby-build
. The error is:
Error: Permission denied - /usr/local/etc/openssl
Warning: Bottle installation failed: building from source.
At the end of the process it says:
installing man3/d2i_SSL_SESSION.3ssl
i2d_SSL_SESSION.3ssl => d2i_SSL_SESSION.3ssl
installing man3/ssl.3ssl
Cannot create directory /usr/local/etc/openssl: Permission denied
Here is the complete log of all what I tried during this attempt:

I have looked at the folllowing links so far:
I finally used this tutorial Setup Ruby On Rails on Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan after updating my mac to EI caption few months back and this worked.
Here is log from console it will explain all what happens. And how finally I got to run my first ruby application. There are several mistakes that I made which a beginner might will, but I finally nailed it. Here is how it looks.
If a home brew install is causing problems your first reflex should be to run
This should diagnose most issues and even suggest remedies (such as the ones mentioned by other answers)
Run this command first
Replace
<your username>
with whatever your username on your mac is. So, in my case, I would runThen try installing rbenv and ruby-build.
Your problem is most likely caused by the use of package installers (.pkg files) as they tend to create files as root in places where they shouldn't.
Note: you can find out your username by running
