Question

I have got some error during bundle install like that. I ran the command /home/tanmay/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353@circarindia/bin/bundle install

Answer 1

There is an error somewhere in your Ruby or environment configuration. You are logged in as tanmay and your home directory is

/home/tanmay/

but the bundle tries to write to another user home path

/home/circar/

The GEM_HOME is incorrect.

GEM_HOME  /home/circar/.gem/ruby/2.0.0/ruby/2.0.0

Make sure you didn't copy/paste some configuration verbatim from a collegue. If you can't find the issue, you may want to remove and reinstall RVM.

Also make sure the PATH in your .bash_profile, .profile (or whatever env file you use) is correct and is not pointing to another home user directory.
