Hey guys, hope somebody could give me a hand with this. Whenever I try to install a gem it ask for my sudo password, this is the output from 'gem env':

RubyGems Environment:
  - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 2.4.5
  - RUBY VERSION: 2.2.2 (2015-04-13 patchlevel 95) [x86_64-linux]
  - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0
  - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/ruby

  - GEM CONFIGURATION:
     - :update_sources => true
     - :verbose => true
     - :backtrace => false
     - :bulk_threshold => 1000
     - "gem" => "--user-install"
  - REMOTE SOURCES:

  - SHELL PATH:
     - /home/miguel/.gem/ruby/2.2.0/bin
     - /home/miguel/.gem/ruby/2.2.0/bin
     - /usr/local/sbin
     - /usr/local/bin
     - /usr/bin
     - /usr/lib/jvm/default/bin
     - /usr/bin/site_perl
     - /usr/bin/vendor_perl
     - /usr/bin/core_perl
     - /home/miguel/.bin

acording to it the gems are installed both in my home and in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0, so I've changed the owner of the gems folder to myself [maybe a bad idea?] but it still ask for the sudo passowrd. What can I do?

You can specify --user-install to gem to prevent installing to system-wide directory. Or add this option to ~/.gemrc
