It seems the user you're running the command with, doesn't have the necessary permissions to write to /var/www/html/. Try changing the permissions or owner of that directory. Try:

The $USER variable contains the logged in username (in your case ren), so it will make your user the owner of that directory. Then run the installation command:

laravel new blog
