Mountain Lion, export $PATH to .bash_profile, permission denied?
osx-mountain-lion
Solution
Quick fix: do "sudo bash", to actually assume root privileges, THEN do the echo. It will work. sudo echo still uses your real uid, so it fails.
Problem
I can do this: ``` sudo nano .bash_profile ``` But when I do this: ``` sudo echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile ``` I get this error message: ``` -bash: /Users/mycomputer/.bash_profile: Permission denied ``` When I do ls -al: ``` -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 27 10 Aug 12:22 .bash_profile ```
