rake db:create gives the error, Could not find json-1.8.3 in any of the sources

Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.. I included json-1.8.3 in gemfile, and then did bundle install. After that gem list json gives --

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

json (1.8.1)

then rake db:create fails again with the same error. What should I do?

I Installed Rails With No Problem, But Now It Disappears. Why?

I followed the guidance carefully and I successfully installed: Homebrew, Ruby, Git, Rails, and Setting Up Database.

I tried them by creating some testing apps with no problem, I went to bed, and left my computer on for downloading Xcode.

But the next morning, when wanted to practice using them, I found rails is no longer in my computer. Here is what it says:

ings-Mac:~ ing$ ruby -v

ruby 2.0.0p645 (2015-04-13 revision 50299) [universal.x86_64-darwin15]

ings-Mac:~ ing$ rails -v

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

$ sudo gem install rails

NOTE:

I made another installation of rails with:

$ sudo gem install rails (with no problem)

It installed Rails 4.2.5.

I made some testing with and without mysql. It DONE WELL.

Will rails disappear again? Let see...

Oh yeh, there are similar problems in Stackoverflow...

On running the command rake db:create getting following message.

Specified 'mysql2' for database adapter, but the gem is not loaded. Add `gem 'mysql2'` to your Gemfile (and ensure its version is at the minimum required by ActiveRecord).

Any suggestions?

`sudo brew upgrade --HEAD ruby-build`

Turns out I already had an outdated version, so I had to upgrade in order to make anything work. As the upgrade has no downside, I suggest adding it to the article just to ensure that the person is running the most recent version.

I tried installing Ruby on Rails through Railsbridge Installfest, got very stuck and found this site instead. I was able to view my new website, however in order to do so I had to overwrite a bunch of stuff: .gitignore, Gemfile, bin/rails, bin/rake, config/secrets.yml, config/database.yml. I'm very new to this and have no real clue what I've done and fear that in the future rails won't work and that it will have something to do with this.

What did I do? Is this good or bad? Thank you!

As long as you followed all these instructions you should be fine. It sounds like you overwrote files inside a Rails app which should be fine. You can always try creating a new Rails app and seeing if that works. Then you'll know you're setup correctly.
