An error occurred while installing libv8 (3.16.14.7), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.7'` succeeds before bundling.

the same error appears when i try to execute the gem command for the installation of libv8 from my terminal:

gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.7'

How can i fix this issue?

Answer 1

Log content the answer.

Failed to build gem native extension.
....
libv8 requires python 2 to be installed in order to build, but it is currently not available (RuntimeError)

You need to install python 2 before you can use this gem.

Answer 2

Path of least resistance is to install node.js and modify your gemfile to this.

gem 'therubyracer', platform: :ruby

Then it should install just fine. This is how I do it, we use Windows to develop in our environment.
