What version of ruby and ruby gems do you have installed?

Experiencing the same problem here.

$ sudo captured --install

Can be fixed by adding
require 'fileutils.rb'
in the top of /bin/captured.

Attention: Running the install with sudo gives
launchctl: Dubious ownership on file (skipping): /Users/[your username]/Library/LaunchAgents
because it tries to access your LaunchAgents as root. Instead run the install without sudo. If it fails try fixing the permissions with the Disk Utility.

Thanks for the catch thunfischbrot. I will go ahead and add the require fileutils to the bin, and I guess I could supplement the documentation to explicitly say that you should not run captured --install with sudo.

If you ran it with sudo I would recommend manually removing ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.codeography.captured and ~/.captured.yml and re-running captured --install

The fileutils error should be fixed in v 0.4.2.
