`require': cannot load such file -- HTTParty (LoadError)

Question

First off I'm a Newbie in regards to Ruby, and I'm following the simple tutorial on https://www.distilled.net/resources/web-scraping-with-ruby-and-nokogiri-for-beginners/

I have a test.rb file that contains the following:

require 'rubygems'
require 'Nokogiri'
require 'HTTParty'
require 'Pry'
require 'csv'

# this is how we request the page we're going to scrape
page = HTTParty.get('https://newyork.craigslist.org/search/pet?s=0')
Pry.start(binding)

When I try to run the ruby test script, I get the following error:

pjw@ubuntu:~/ruby/test$ ruby test.rb 
/home/pjw/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.0/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file -- HTTParty (LoadError)
    from /home/pjw/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.0/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
    from test.rb:1:in `<main>'

I've verified HTTParty works properly by running:

httparty "https://newyork.craigslist.org/search/pet?s=0"

The problem seems to be the require statement. If I mix the order or the required gems, the first one gives the same error as above. I've searched online and can't seem to find what I'm missing...

• in `require': cannot load such file -- httparty (LoadError) - (No Answer)
• kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file error - (bundle exec ruby test.rb "Could not locate Gemfile or .bundle/ directory")
• Unable to run .rb files on mac - getting /.rbenv/versions/2.2.3/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' - (GEMS already Installed)

Answer 1

Try simply this. It's all downcase

require 'httparty' 

Answer 2

ubuntu@ip-172-31-19-199:~/ruby$ sudo apt install ruby-httparty 

Install ruby-httparty and you won't get the error.
