Hello Chris,

Thanks a lot for this guide. I was having a really hard time trying to install homebrew and rails on my MacBook after I installed Monterey. 😃

Where can I find a link to the setup guide? I can see the discussion, but not the original guide that everyone is talking about.

Edit: Never mind, found it. In case anyone else is looking.... see gorails.com/setup/osx/12-monterey

Hello Chris,

I'm following the guide to install Rails in my new Macbook Pro M1, but I'm running into trouble. Even though I've setup rbenv global 3.0.2, installing Rails fails for me with the following message which makes me think it's using the version from system ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [universal.arm64e-darwin21]. What can I do? Thanks in advance!

gem install rails -v 6.1.4.1
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0 directory.

Bryan Beshore November 9, 2021 2:22pm

You likely figured it out already, but possibly this will help others: restart your terminal and you should see 3.0.2

AC Guerrero November 28, 2021 5:15pm

Just run it with sudo ;-)

cs_student December 17, 2021 6:04pm

Hi, even after restarting the terminal, the error is still there.

Error installing rails:
There are no versions of activesupport (= 7.0.0) compatible with your Ruby & RubyGems. Maybe try installing an older version of the gem you're looking for?
activesupport requires Ruby version >= 2.7.0. The current ruby version is 2.6.8.205.

How should I resolve this? Thanks!

Gabriela Jack November 6, 2021 3:03pm

Oh, wait! I found my answer! After setting the global version, I needed to close the terminal, open another, run rbenv rehash.

AC Guerrero November 28, 2021 5:17pm

This step is only necessary for Mohave

Leonardo Mezu November 28, 2021 5:23pm

Same problem on Monterrey

Douglas Miguel de Oliveira Silveira December 3, 2021 11:49pm

Same problem on Monterrey (+1)

Chang Phang Wei December 13, 2021 1:45am

You would want to run xcode-select --install for Monterey on your terminal then it should be working.

Douglas Miguel de Oliveira Silveira December 17, 2021 11:29am

I have tried that, got this message:
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates

I tried several different things, always ending with the error:

/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/activesupport-6.1.4.1/lib/active_support/message_encryptor.rb:170:in `auth_data=': couldn't set additional authenticated data (OpenSSL::Cipher::CipherError)

So frustating.

myanch200 December 20, 2021 11:02pm

Hi anyone with solution

Robert January 28, 2022 8:04pm

Any solution yet?

Adnan Ashraf November 19, 2021 12:46pm

That's great, but can we use Rails 7.0.0.alpha2 for our new project or should I wait for a stable release?

jack November 20, 2021 10:37pm

I got errors running "rails new ". It was during webpacker:install. First it said "node is missing", so I installed that with brew "brew install node", then after that it erred out with "yarn is missing", and again installed it "brew install yarn". After that it was fine.

MoeZayour November 27, 2021 12:29pm

Hi,
While creating new blog I am getting below error. How to fix this?

append .gitignore
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/activesupport-6.1.4.1/lib/active_support/message_encryptor.rb:170:in `auth_data=': couldn't set additional authenticated data (OpenSSL::Cipher::CipherError)

Bishwas Thapa Magar December 3, 2021 8:42am

Hi, You can just install openssl it will worked for me :)
brew install openssl

Douglas Miguel de Oliveira Silveira December 3, 2021 11:51pm

Hi, I did install the openssl and I'm getting the same error (I already restarted the Terminal several times).

Douglas Miguel de Oliveira Silveira December 4, 2021 12:17am

I'm getting this error message when I try to create a new Rails app:

/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/activesupport-6.1.4.1/lib/active_support/message_encryptor.rb:170:in `auth_data=': couldn't set additional authenticated data (OpenSSL::Cipher::CipherError)

I tried with the system version of Ruby and with the 3.0. :(

Wei Zhang December 9, 2021 2:36am

Got same problem

avangelist December 13, 2021 5:49pm

I cannot get this to work on a Mac M1.
I've got brew running, ruby on latest version, and rails as documented.
had issues running mysql so opted for POSTgreSQL, that's all OK it seems.
Created the database fine, then when I use rails server, I get a truck load of errors.

The first of them is 'Webpacker configuration file not found'

Marco Beffa June 4, 2022 6:24am

I'have problem... with Mac M1 Cannot install PG gem rails :-(, there is a problem...

I've resolved my issues with the following steps.

brew install node
rails new myapp --database=postgresql
brew services start postgresql
cd myapp
rake db:create
rails s

server starts, installs all dependencies and away we go.

@jongwon. What happens if you add gem sqlite3 to your Gemfile and bundle install?

Ferenc Lazar February 22, 2022 4:20pm

:( M1 macbook Pro, Monterey 12.0.1, everything "by the book" (meaning following the steps above) except it doesn't think rails is installed...
Maybe some env var missing?

% rails -v
Rails is not currently installed on this system. To get the latest version, simply type:

$ sudo gem install rails

You can then rerun your "rails" command.

Hey everyone,

I am trying to set up on my mac pro m1.
I have followed the instructions to the letter and when I run:
rake db:create

`rake aborted!
NameError: uninitialized constant RubyLsp::T

VERSION = T.let(File.read(File.expand_path("../VERSION", dir)).strip, String)
^
/Users/wasonga/Desktop/rails/sample/config/application.rb:7:in <top (required)>' /Users/wasonga/Desktop/rails/sample/Rakefile:4:inrequire_relative'
/Users/wasonga/Desktop/rails/sample/Rakefile:4:in <top (required)>' (See full trace by running task with --trace)

I am getting the following error.

can anyone assist?

Ben Wasonga June 25, 2022 2:22pm

I fixed this by removing Cassandra which I had installed 'by accident', and after uninstalling everything on this guide and beginning a clean install, it ended up working.
I am a happy man now.
