ERROR: Error installing oj:

Question

I just cloned a repository from GitHub for the first time.

I went to check it out on my local machine, so within the local repository on my mac I ran the following command

bin/rails server

I got the following error:

Could not find activesupport-5.0.0.1 in any of the sources Run bundle install to install missing gems.

So I then ran the bundle install command as suggested, but then it gave me the following error

An error occurred while installing oj (2.12.14), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that gem install oj -v '2.12.14' succeeds before bundling.

So as suggested I ran: gem install oj -v '2.12.14'

Then I got a really long message with warning and an error (see below). Any thoughts?

ERROR:  Error installing oj:

Answer 1

Fixnum is no longer a thing in ruby 2.4. Either downgrade your ruby or update oj to 2.16.1, which supports ruby 2.4.
