How-to: Fix "Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - /.irb-history" when `brew install opentsdb` on Mac OS X Raw
Raw
permission_denied_irb_history-fix.MD

PROBLEM:

Was trying to brew install opentsdb from CLI, but got:

Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - /Users/stuarthannig/.irb-history
  initialize at org/jruby/RubyFile.java:478
        open at org/jruby/RubyIO.java:1135
      (root) at /Users/stuarthannig/.rvm/scripts/irbrc.rb:32
        call at org/jruby/RubyProc.java:270
        call at org/jruby/RubyProc.java:224

Couldn't find any solutions upon searching the Internet. I did see that Homebrew was installing in a sandbox, and thought potentially that could lead to a permissions issue.

SOLUTION:

Run brew install opentsdb --no-sandbox for SUCCESS!

Hope this helps anyone out there avoid going down the rabbit hole.
