Bundle install require password to install gems every time

Your user account isn't allowed to install to the system RubyGems. You can cancel this installation and run:

  bundle install --path vendor/bundle

to install the gems into ./vendor/bundle/, or you can enter your password and install the bundled gems to RubyGems using sudo.

HI Aleksandra,

You didn't specify the type of system (and environment) you are using. But...
This will only happen if you are logged in as a user and not the root administrator. Installing Gems is a root level activity and requires the same privileges. If you cannot log in as root or use the sudo command (will require the root password), then you will not be able to install the Gems into RubyGems.

:) :dizzy:

Hi, Jason! Thank you for your reply. My system is ubuntu. My environment was ok (I am using RVM). But I was playing around during treehouse console training and now I have this mistake and don't know how to fix it
