I'm new to Rails and am currently working through a guide. The guide states:
Use a text editor to update the Gemfile needed by Bundler with the contents of Listing 2.1.
source ' gem 'rails', '3.2.3' group :development do gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.5' end # Gems used only for assets and not required # in production environments by default. group :assets do gem 'sass-rails', '3.2.4' gem 'coffee-rails', '3.2.2' gem 'uglifier', '1.2.3' end gem 'jquery-rails', '2.0.0' group :production do gem 'pg', '0.12.2' endWe then install and include the gems using the
bundle installcommand:$ bundle install --without productionIf Bundler complains about
no such file to load -- readline (LoadError)try addinggem ’rb-readline’to your Gemfile.)
I followed the steps even adding on gem 'rb-readline' to the Gemfile, but apparently the file can't be found and when I go to my text editor I do see the Gemfile itself. I noticed that they made me put gem 'rails', 3.2.3 and my version of Rails is 3.2.1 so I tried changing it to 3.2.1 but that didn't work either.
Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.

You just need to change directories to your app, THEN run bundle install :)
You may also indicate the path to the gemfile in the same command e.g.
BUNDLE_GEMFILE="MyProject/Gemfile.ios" bundle install
I had this problem as well on an OSX machine. I discovered that rails was not installed... which surprised me as I thought OSX always came with Rails. To install rails
sudo gem install rails- to install jekyll I also needed sudo
sudo gem install jekyll bundlercd ~/Sitesjekyll new <foldername>cd <foldername>ORcd !$(that is magic ;)bundle installbundle exec jekyll serve- Then in your browser just go to and it really should be running
You must be in the same directory of Gemfile
I had this problem on Ubuntu 18.04. I updated the gem
sudo gem install rails
sudo gem install jekyll
sudo gem install jekyll bundler
cd ~/desiredFolder
jekyll new <foldername>
cd <foldername> OR
bundle init
bundle install
bundle add jekyll
bundle exec jekyll serve
All worked and goto your browser just go to and it really should be running
When I had similar problem gem update --system helped me. Run this before bundle install
In my case this worked:
cd /usr/bintouch Gemfile- Now you can then run
bundle install.
- Make sure that the file name is Capitalized
Gemfileinstead ofgemfile. - Make sure you're in the same directory as the
Gemfile.
Search for the Gemfile file in your project, go to that directory and then run "bundle install". prior to running this command make sure you have installed the gem "sudo gem install bundler"
sudo gem install rails
my problem solved, just this code.
Think more about what you are installing and navigate Gemfile folder, then try using sudo bundle install
