Ruby installation permissions
Hi, going through the installation steps, I am trying to update my Ruby 2.3.0 folder within the Library on my OS 10.13.6 , but keep getting permission errors. I have changed the Ruby folder to have Read & Write permissions, as well as sub folders. Below is the transcript from Terminal, what should I try next? Thanks

You might need to sudo this.
Hi,
I took another try following the directions for the Starter project, this time using Xcode 11.5 running on OS 10.15.4, still get hung up in approximately the same step, here is the transcript:

What should I try next?
Thanks
Hey @MarkBresler,
I am not sure since we don't support our JS APIs on MAC OS.
To be honest, this it seems like this doesn't have anything to do with our APIs though.
It seems like a MAC permission/install issue. Have you Google-fued this issue? Seems homebrew's not working on your mac at all. Or maybe your ruby install is messed up?
