'Could not find gem 'rails (= 4.2.5) x86-mingw32' when running rails server
I'm trying to learn Ruby on Rails. Currently been trying out Rails framework. I've installed it. Create new project in MyBlog folder, but when I try to run:
rails server
I get back an error:
Could not find gem 'rails (= 4.2.5) x86-mingw32' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile or available on this machine. Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.
I've installed bundle as suggested. Had few problems with installing it as well, but I've found a soultion on the internet.
Before bundle install I was getting another error saying that it could not find gem 'sqlite3'
Did someone had similar problem? Can you help me with solving it?
Update:
Content of my Gemfile is:
source 'https://rubygems.org'

Errors when try to run 'bundle install':
Solution 1:[1]
Try to install the following packages to succeed bundle install
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev
These packages are for Linux environment. Find the alternatives for other environments. Let me know if you got any error.
Solution 2:[2]
open file Gemfile.lock, find and delete "x64-mingw32" then run the command:-
$bundle install
Solution 3:[3]
Late answer but this happened to me just now. What worked for me was figuring out I accidently installed an older Ruby version.
In your last screenshot you received a line:
Make sure that `gem install json -v '1.8.3'` succeeds before bundling
This command probably failed due to an older Ruby version, get the latest version here (Assuming you're a windows user) https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
P.S
Make sure you remove any previous Ruby / Rails installations. What you need is a "With DEVKIT" installer, preferably the one they recommend on (starts with "=>").
