You better install Ruby 2.2.5 for compatibility. The Ruby version in your local machine is different from the one declared in Gemfile.

If you're using rvm:

rvm install 2.2.5
rvm use 2.2.5

else if you're using rbenv:

rbenv install 2.2.5
rbenv local 2.2.5

else if you can not change ruby version by rbenv, read here

Backward compatibility is not an issue, I think. If it were the opposite (Gemfile specifying 2.3.0 and only 2.2.5 installed) we would have some issues, for sure. – Ed de Almeida Jun 20 '16 at 05:22
@EddeAlmeida what if I don't want to change the Gemfile? Like it's a project with multiple people? Or an open-source project – Emile Bergeron Dec 20 '16 at 02:50
Then install Ruby 2.2.5, create a private bundle for your app and go ahead, @EmileBergeron. – Ed de Almeida Dec 20 '16 at 02:55

These situations are exactly the reasons why I always suggest people to have a separate bundle to each application. – Ed de Almeida Dec 20 '16 at 02:58

I was having an issue between the local version of Ruby and the versions of Ruby that Heroku allows. I'm new-ish ro Ruby, Rails, and RVM, so this took me a bit to figure out. Thanks a TON, Tan. Specifically, no other answer I found in a couple hours of poking around mentioned the rvm use command. – Henry Edward Quinn IV Jan 20 '17 at 15:24
this caused my mac to ask me to re install rails even though it's already installed "Rails is not currently installed on this system" – Ayrad May 17 '17 at 01:36
rbenv install - doesn't work, install isn't a supported command. – mr-sk Jun 27 '17 at 16:26
I tried the above on rbenv and it didn't work for me. Turns out I was using rvm and not rbenv although both were installed. Make sure you upgrade the right ruby version manager' ruby version – Saurav Prakash Feb 21 '20 at 23:23
after having installed it, `rvm use 2.6.1` gives _Required ruby-2.7.0 is not installed._ :) how can I fix this ? – gordie Feb 27 '20 at 22:33
This may be off topic for some users but I had to do these commands as well. `rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles` then `bundler update --bundler` ... and then, I could use `rvm use 3.0.0` again, without errors/warnings – floer32 Mar 02 '21 at 07:05
In my case adding correct paths (`$HOME/.rbenv/shims` and `$HOME/.rbenv/bin`) to my .zshrc fixed the problem. Thanks @Tan – Dmitry May 28 '21 at 22:09

If you have already installed 2.2.5 and set as current ruby version, but still showing the same error even if the Ruby version 2.3.0 is not even installed, then just install the bundler.

gem install bundler

and then:

bundle install

This is it right here! Because if you installed bundler before installing and setting your ruby version, calling `bundle check` or `bundle install` will still be referencing the ruby environment that was used for installing `bundler` originally. Cheers! – Joshua Pinter Oct 11 '18 at 05:09

Btw, I also had to do `rbenv rehash` after reinstalling bundler. – Joshua Pinter Oct 11 '18 at 05:10

@java_geek It's better to install and switch the ruby version (2.2.5) using rvm or rbenv as already suggested by Tan. Also, make sure to change the desired ruby version in the ".ruby-version" file. Thanks. – Tarique Apr 25 '21 at 17:06

If you are using rbenv then make sure that you run the "rbenv rehash" command after you set local or global ruby version. It solved the issue for me.

Your Gemfile has a line reading

Change it to

is `.ruby-version` also related ? – Anthony Kal Oct 30 '18 at 10:05

Yes, @AnthonyKal. .ruby-gemset states the name of the private bundle and .ruby-version the ruby version it will be based on. – Ed de Almeida Oct 30 '18 at 10:44

Had same issue. I'm using rbenv and which ruby would show the rbenv version:

/Users/Mahmoud/.rbenv/shims/ruby

which bundle though would show:

/usr/local/bin/bundle

After looking in every possible place, turns out my problem was that I needed to update path in ~/.zshrc in addition to ~/.bash_profile (where I originally had the changes)

if you're running zsh add those two lines in ~/.zshrc (or the equivalent file) in addition to ~/.bash_profile

export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/shims:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"

After saving, quit terminal and relaunch before retrying. Hopefully this would help.

I had this problem but I solved it by installing the version of the ruby that is specified in my gem file using the RVM

    rvm install (ruby version)

After the installation, I use the following command to use the the version that you installed.

    rvm --default use (ruby version)

You have to install bundler by using the following command in order to use the latest version

    gem install bundler

After the above steps, you can now run following command to install the gems specified on the gemfile

    bundle install

A problem I had on my Mac using rbenv was that when I first set it up, it loaded a bunch of ruby executables in /usr/local/bin - these executables loaded the system ruby, rather than the current version.

If you run

which bundle

And it shows /usr/local/bin/bundle you may have this issue.

Search through /usr/local/bin and delete any files that start with #!/user/bin ruby

Then run

rbenv rehash

If you have some dependency on the version of the Ruby , then install the appropriate version. otherwise change the version in the gemfile in the current directory.

rbenv install <required version>
rbenv local <required version>

Even after installation it was showing the same error for me, so I just restart the mac, then do the bundle install, it works :)

it should show something like this

   <user>@<repo>% rbenv versions 
      system
    * 2.3.7 (set by <app>)

Nothing above worked for me.

My issue was : Your Ruby version is 3.2.1, but your Gemfile specified 2.7.6.

Below Solution worked for me :

Open project on VSCode
Click around 11th option (=ruby-version) On the left side menu
Change the current version to your current version (3.2.1) or whatever your ruby version is.
in terminal run command cd iOS
then run command bundle install
then run pod install
Sometimes pod will give error about installing boost, so run pod install again, just keep repeating the command until it install everything successfully.

Your app is ready to run smoothly.

you can install simple way. Install rbenv On macOS with Homebrew.

brew install rbenv ruby-build
vi ~/.zshrc // open
eval "$(rbenv init - zsh)" // paste it
rbenv install 3.1.2
Close your Terminal window and open a new one so your changes take effect.
