Rails，rake不起作用

Question

I've been trying to use Rails and when I use rake, I get this error. Any suggestions on which run time should I use?

ngzhongqin@ngzhongqin-linux:~/RailsProjects/webuiltit$ rake db:create:all --trace

Answer 1

Add this to your Gemfile

gem 'therubyracer', require: "v8"

and run

bundle install

Answer 2

I have installed the gem therubyracer, execjs, mustang but nothing worked.

On my linux (ubuntu) the command

sudo apt-get install nodejs

did the job finally for me.
