Unable to install Istats on my 10.15.7 Cataline

[ootkarl]

It's weird that I have looked at many of the previous issues posted, but still unable to install Istats on my 10.15.7 Cataline. My ruby version is uby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [universal.x86_64-darwin19] and when I use sudo gem install iStats, it shows this.

I have also encountered an error similar to this after updating from High Sierra to Catalina. I haven't found a solution yet, but will post it if I figure anything out.

Catalina 15.7 here

You can do these to make it work:

First, don't use the gem that Mac provides you, if you use this one, You need 'sudo', and get error.

brew install ruby

Run it to install a gem.

Then add this ruby path and this gem path to your .zshrc files, in my Mac is like this

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/bin:$PATH"

It may be different in your Mac ! And The istats will install in /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/(your gem version)/gems/

Finally, run

source ~/.zshrc
gem install iStats
istats

You can find it works well.

I am also having similar issue getting iStats to install on a 2019 16" MBP running macOS 10.15.7. using gem.

It seems that you have solved the problem. (*￣3￣)╭ (￣▽￣)[][]~(￣▽￣)/ https://github.com/Chris911/iStats/issues/108

国语交流版： 看样子你已经解决了这个问题(*￣3￣)╭ 其实就是gem安装路径有没有权限的锅，换一个自己的gem就行（添加PTAH就是这个目的） （错误的原因应该是，你添加的PATH有问题或者你的那个路径需要root权限访问，但是这个在其他电脑上是不需要的） 不要用系统自带的，路径权限卡的死，且容易出问题 不推荐sudo，因为很容易出现权限问题
