In -that case, Bundler will stage everything in a temporary directory, -then ask you for your `sudo` password in order to copy the gems into -their system location. - -From your perspective, this is identical to installing the gems -directly into the system. - -You should never use `sudo bundle install`. This is because several -other steps in `bundle install` must be performed as the current user: - -* Updating your `Gemfile.lock` -* Updating your `vendor/cache`, if necessary -* Checking out private git repositories using your user's SSH keys - -Of these three, the first two could theoretically be performed by -`chown`ing the resulting files to `$SUDO_USER`. The third, however, -can only be performed by invoking the `git` command as -the current user. Therefore, git gems are downloaded and installed -into `~/.bundle` rather than $GEM_HOME or $BUNDLE_PATH. - -As a result, you should run `bundle install` as the current user, -and Bundler will ask for your password if it is needed to put the -gems into their final location. - ## INSTALLING GROUPS By default, `bundle install` will install all gems in all groups |
