Problem
Trying to use the heroku gem to clone a project and do local modifications I got the following error:
1 |
git: fatal error: `chdir' failed: permission denied. |
Solution
It turns out that in Mandriva, when using:
1 |
sudo urpmi git |
what gets installed is the ‘GNU Interactive Tools’ that has nothing to do with the git version control system.
So make sure you first uninstall the git installed:
1 |
sudo rpm -e git |
and then install the Git – Fast version control system, by doing:
1 |
sudo urpmi git-core |
You should then be able to clone a heroku application:
1 |
heroku clone myapp |
