Bundler having trouble with Git

Question

I've cloned Discourse 's master branch. My shared host is pretty new to Ruby on Rails. It won't let me run bundle install on any gem that uses Git. The error:

Gemfile syntax error:
/home/soociali/rails_apps/Discus/Gemfile:3: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting $end
...ctive_model_serializers', git: 'git://github.com/rails-api/a...
                          ^

The Gemfile: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/Gemfile

Answer 1

This is because the file you are trying to run has a syntax that belongs to Ruby 1.9 and you have an older version installed on your computer. You need to update it.

I don't know which OS are you using. Install Ruby 1.9 on CentOS is a guide for CentOS and it might give you an idea on how to update it.

Or use RVM . It will make your life easier.
