gem install kgio ERROR

Question

I've downloaded a rails open source webapp , and while i was starting it using :

C:\Users\admin\Downloads\iCare\icare-develop>rails server
←[31mCould not find kgio-2.8.0 in any of the sources←[0m
←[33mRun `bundle install` to install missing gems.←[0m

i tried to fix this error using:

cmd:>gem install kgio -v '2.8.0'

i got the error:

Answer 1

kgio is only for *nix system.

the kgio gem page:

kgio 2.8.0 kgio provides non-blocking I/O methods for Ruby without raising exceptions on EAGAIN and EINPROGRESS. It is intended for use with the Unicorn and Rainbows! Rack servers, but may be used by other applications (that run on Unix-like platforms).

Answer 2

Try this

platforms :ruby do # linux

  gem 'unicorn'

end

platforms :mswin do

  # gems specific to windows

end

Source: Develop on windows, run unicorn in production on heroku
