All day long I've tried to install SASS on Mac as detailed on the SASS page but I can only run it from my administrator account.

For security, on my Mac I have 2 user accounts, admin user (which I use only to install and uninstall software) and normal user, which I use for everything else.

When I run the command sass -v from the admin user account, I have the sass version but, when I run the same command from the normal user account I have the next error

env: ruby_executable_hooks: No such file or directory

I've tried to install sass from the normal user account but, it tells me that I have not permissions.

The NORMAL user's RubyGems environment is:

    RubyGems Environment:

  • You're using RVM for one user and not for the other. That's the source of your problem. – tadman Aug 10 '17 at 18:56
  • Thank you for your answer but, I really don't know about Ruby's world. I work with node.js so please, Could you show me how I can solve it? – Marcos Ramos Aug 10 '17 at 19:02
  • Your RVM installation for the admin user is taking priority. It's user specific, so these are two separate worlds. Get rid of RVM, or do a system RVM install to make both environments identical. – tadman Aug 10 '17 at 19:03

Done! I share my solution below:

  1. I have uninstalled all the ruby's versions that I had via RVM.
  2. Then uninstalled rvm doing as is showing in this post => How can I remove RVM (Ruby Version Manager) from my system?

  3. I've reinstalled RVM again but in 'multi-user' mode, as described on the official RVM site, using the command below: \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable

  4. I've added the users one by one to the group rvm using the command below:

    sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a username_to_add -t user rvm

  5. Logged out and Login again

  6. Install SASS via gem using the command below: rvm all do gem install sass

  7. Verify installation: sass -v

I hope this post help someone else!
