ExecJS::RuntimeUnavailable in Rails

Question

I am getting this error while trying to run a rails app.

ExecJS::RuntimeUnavailable in Pages#home

I installed rubyracer but didn't help me.

<%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' =>    true %>

Could not find a JavaScript runtime. See https://github.com/rails/execjs for a list of available runtimes.

Try installing Node.js:

brew install node # For Mac OSX
sudo apt-get install nodejs # For Ubuntu

See other ways of installing Node.js in your system.

Then, re-start your server. This should fix your issue.
