Errno::EACCES: Permission denied when running bundle and it hits json 1.8.1, pg 0.17-Collection of common programming errors

I just got a new laptop and fully transferred everything using Migration Assistant. It seems like everything works normally and is in its proper place, so I don’t know if that’s the issue. I’m still pretty new to debugging environment errors like this.

I’ve been developing a rails project on Windows and this laptop is a Mac OS X 10.8. I’ve cloned a GitHub project onto it before and it ran fine. Here’s the github repo for reference. This project hits an error when I run bundle

Tried adding this to my gemfile

gem 'json', '1.8.0'

Now I get this new error after bundle update json… My last project did Postgres only in production too, but I didn’t see the pg gem when I bundle that one.

You have requested:

json = 1.8.0

The bundle currently has json locked at 1.8.1.
Try running `bundle update json`
Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.
