Rails 5 console needs readline 6 on macOS Sierra

Question

I have only readline 7 installed and I can't find a single way to install version 6 on macOS Sierra. This is the error when trying to run rails c:

Answer 1

I had a similar issue and solved it with:

ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.6.dylib

I had the same error and this worked for me.
Add gem 'rb-readline' in your Gemfile and bundle install

And just type bundle exec rails c
