Totally lost in the command line

I am a front end developer whom is terrified of the command line because it always ends up being a dead end like when I tried to work through this lesson.

Here is my current stopping point:

Aryon-Hoseltons-MacBook-Pro:/ aryonhoselton$ gem install bundler
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
    You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory.
Aryon-Hoseltons-MacBook-Pro:/ aryonhoselton$ rbenv rehash
Aryon-Hoseltons-MacBook-Pro:/ aryonhoselton$ gem install sqlite3
Fetching: sqlite3-1.3.9.gem (100%)
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
    You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory.

I will be working through Ruby on a pair programming lesson with a friend tomorrow but if there is any terminal tutorials that would help me feel less lost please send them along.

Thanks! Aryon

have a look at Console Foundations. Also try using

sudo gem install sqlite3
