Cannot create application with rails

I installed Rails. While creating a new application with the command:

rails new myapp

The following error messages occur: 

Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/..........
Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/..
Resolving dependencies...
Installing rake (10.1.0) 
Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/build_info/rake-10.1.0.info
An error occurred while installing rake (10.1.0), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install rake -v '10.1.0'` succeeds before bundling.

The version of my gem is 4.0.0.

This seems to be a bundler issue with the recent versions of rubygems. See https://github.com/bundler/bundler/issues/2445 for details.

If you want to avoid sudo to make bundler install the gems into your ~/.gem/ruby/2.0.0 directory, try setting the $GEM_HOME environment variable:

export GEM_HOME="$HOME/.gem/ruby/2.0.0"

This is unlikely to be a rake issue, since rake uses the generic gem install mechanism. My guess is that you have permissions screwed up in the gem install directory.

You can do:

gem env gemdir

to see where gems are being installed. Check the permissions in that area to make sure everything is writeable by you.

This seems to be permission problem so change the permission of the directory and then try:

gem install rake -v '10.1.0'

and post the logs if an error happens.

Or try:

sudo gem install rake -v '10.1.0'

and then post the logs if there is an error again.
