Fail to install

[figgis]

Hi again,

Thinks are not working out for me...

 ~/src/tmuxinator
$ git pull
Already up-to-date.

$ gem install tmuxinator
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
    You don't have write permissions into the /var/lib/gems/1.8 directory.

$ sudo gem install tmuxinator
[sudo] password for XXXXXXX: 

  __________________________________________________________
 \ ..........................................................

  Thank you for installing tmuxinator
  Please be sure to to drop a line in your ~/.bashrc file, similar 
  to RVM if you've used that before:

  [[ -s $HOME/.tmuxinator/scripts/tmuxinator ]] && source $HOME/.tmuxinator/scripts/tmuxinator

  also ensure that you've set these variables in your ENV:

  $EDITOR, $SHELL

  you can run `tmuxinator doctor` to make sure everything is set.
  happy tmuxing with tmuxinator!

Now try to run it:

$ sudo find . -type f -name tmuxinator

$ cd .tmuxinator
-bash: cd: .tmuxinator: No such file or directory

What just happened?

I'm a python guy, don't know enough to debug ruby...

Am I being stupid or is tmuxinator broken?

[aziz]

you need to create a directory called .tmuxinator in your home, this was part of the code but some how lost due to merging a couple of pull requests. the new patch in coming as soon

[figgis]

ok, thanx. created that, then I tried gem install (failed) and sudo gem install still get unknown command. Should I really need to add ./var/lib/gems... to my $PATH?

BTW .tmuxinator is completely empty

[tommcc]

I'm having this issue as well. This seems like a great project, but I can't tell which fork to choose if this one isn't even being updated to fix an install bug?

[yesmeck]

It seems you must run the command in a tmux session.

[aokolish]

is this still relevant?

[franciscoj]

Hi,

I couldn't reproduce this, I guess the error was fixed with the release of 0.5.0. Please, reopen if the error persist.

[stabenfeldt]

It fails at my place too.

[ghost]

This is the wrong issue to report this in. Seems like you can't source the completion files?

Please raise a new issue for the problem you're having.

[ghost]

@stabenfeldt, I've updated the readme with the correct instructions regarding completion.

[stabenfeldt]

@Soliah, Thanks! I got everything rolling now! 👍

If running rbenv you will need to run rbenv rehash

[luizs81]

no update about this issue so far? I'm using OSX El Capitan

➜  ~  gem install tmuxinator

Hey, @luiz-s81. A few things:

• have you tried using Bash or Fish to see if this is a Zsh issue?
• what's the output of cd ~ && gem list | grep tmuxinator?
• you should probably open a new issue for your specific problem (Tmuxinator version, OS X version, shell, etc.)

[Chinggis6]

I'm using Arch Linux.
It happened until I re-installed tmuxinator with sudo -E gem install tmuxinator.
The -E part keeps your users environment intact.
Else it would install it for the user root.
Also PATH should be set in config.fish (in my case, as I use fish for shell) to include Ruby binaries.

set -x PATH $PATH $HOME/.gem/ruby/2.4.0/bin

I hope it will help you (too).
