title: ~/.bash_profile Permissions denied
body: <p>I am trying add these lines <code>export PATH=~/.rbenv/bin:$PATH eval "$(rbenv init -)"</code> to my <code>~/.bash_profile</code> however when ever I type <code>~/.bash_profile</code> it gives me this error </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>-bash: /Users/ryandavila/.bash_profile: Permission denied.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I tried following the instructions on Basic Github checkout (<a href="https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv/blob/master/README.md#basic-github-checkout" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv/blob/master/README.md#basic-github-checkout</a>) but I get the same error.</p>
  
  <p>Just an FYI I'm very new to ruby on rails yet alone programming.</p>
