Gem::FilePermissionError: You don't have write permissions for the /var/lib/gems/3.1.0 directory. #6759
Description
Thank you for contributing to the
rubygems repository, and specifically to
RubyGems.
Describe the problem as clearly as you can
While trying to install prereqs for blue_hydra on kali linux I run into an issue where bundle install does not work which means I am unable to download sqlite3 (one of the required dependencies). The reason it gives me is that there is a lock on one of the gemfiles and I don't have permissions to write. I've tried every update and command online that I can find, but nothing seems to work.
Did you try upgrading RubyGems?
tried to update ruby gems and received this error message: ERROR: Your RubyGems was installed trough APT, and upgrading it through RubyGems itself is unsupported. If you really need the latest version of RubyGems (tip: you usually don't), then you need to install RubyGems (and Ruby) manually, maybe using tools like ruby-install, rvm, etc.

342 exec $SHELL
343 git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build

351 ruby -v
352 bundle install
353 gem install rubygems-update
431 sudo gem install rubygems-update
432 update_rubygems
433 gem update --system
Which command did you run?
bundle install
What were you expecting to happen?
I expected it to install all the needed dependencies, but instead gave me an error message saying it was unable to install sqlite3 do to not having write permissions on the /var/lib/gems/3.1.0 directory.
What actually happened?
Gem::FilePermissionError: You don't have write permissions for the /var/lib/gems/3.1.0 directory.
