I installed it locally, but for some reason the .gem folder was root user and not my local user so it would not allow me to run gem install rails unless I used sudo. To fix this I had to chown the .gem folder to my user and then everything worked as it should. I just found it strange that I was the only one that seemed to have this issue since it looks like it should happen to everyone who follows the steps.
