@erwanlr on macOS 10.15 (Catalina) it doesn't work anymore, I guess it works only for 10.11-10.14, for 10.15 the solution proposed by @Tiposbingo works, just tried it and it's all good. |

Subject of the issue
After installing cURL and starting the install via command
gem install wpscanIt will give an error for macOS 10.11 or newer due to Apple's System Integrity Protection (SIP).
Your environment
Steps to reproduce
Try to install wpscan via terminal on macos 10.11 or newer.
Expected behavior
It should install
Actual behavior
It will throw an error
Gem::FilePermissionErrorthis is caused due to the fact that gem installation works in Apple's SIP area.
Solution
Solved it via
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin wpscanPlease update the docs, for this issue, because it was a pain for me and probably it will be for others.
Another solutions would be to disable Apple's SIP (reboot, cmd r, open terminal and type csrutil disable - reboot and it's off)
p.s. Have to thank to who replied on twitter, it gave me the idea to check SIP status.
