Question

I am absolutely new to ruby on rails.

I tried to create my first using the code

An error occurred while installing sqlite3 (1.3.7), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.7'` succeeds before bundling.

and I tried

sudo gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.7'

Now I got an error like this

Kindly Help Me
Thank You

Answer 1

It's failing because you are missing a dependency. You can get it by running sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

Answer 2

I had this issue using Fedora. For posterity and the Yum folks...

sudo yum install libsq3-devel

Answer 3

这修复了 Amazon Linux (AWS)

sudo yum install sqlite-devel

Answer 4

run $sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

if it responds:

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

then run $sudo dpkg --configure -a
run $rails s

if it responds:

Downloading nokogiri-1.10.0 revealed dependencies not in the API or the lockfile (mini_portile2 (~> 2.4.0)).

Either installing with --full-index or running bundle update nokogiri should fix the problem.
run $ bundle update nokogiri and all will be perfect again!
