how to install gems without sudo

by

Use chown on the whole .rvm and .gem directories back to your user. You probably used sudo before and it screwed up permissions.

sudo chown -R username:group ~/.rvm
sudo chown -R username:group ~/.gem

Of course, change username to your username and group to your group
