Trying to install gems needed to run the twitter Bootstrap gem - getting error while running bundle

Question

I have a regular Rails 4 app for which Im trying to incorporate the twitter bootstrap framework.

The relevant parts of my gemfile looks like this:

  #Gems used only for assets and not required  in production environments by default
  group :assets do

  # See https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs#readme for more supported runtimes
  gem "therubyracer", :require => 'v8'

  gem "less-rails", "~> 2.4.2"

  # Use SCSS for stylesheets
  gem 'sass-rails', '~> 4.0.0'

  # Use CoffeeScript for .js.coffee assets and views
  gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.0.0'

  # Use Uglifier as compressor for JavaScript assets
  gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'

  gem "twitter-bootstrap-rails", "~> 2.2.8"

  end

When I run the bundle command on terminal I get this error:

 > bundle

 An error occurred while installing commonjs (0.2.7), and Bundler cannot continue.

 Make sure that `gem install commonjs -v '0.2.7'` succeeds before bundling.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

It's common issue on Mac (for me exactly). Try to update openssl:

brew update
brew install openssl

Sometimes it can also be useful to update symlinks and certificates:

brew link openssl --force
brew install curl-ca-bundle

If this doesn't help and you are using RVM try to update rvm's certificates:

rvm osx-ssl-certs update all

Hope this helps!
