Can't install sqlite

Question

I use mac.

Gem version: 2.4.5.1 Ruby version: ruby 2.2.3p173 (2015-08-18 revision 51636) [x86_64-darwin15] Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.2.3'

group :development do
    gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.5'
end

# Gems used only for assets and not required
# in production environments by default.
group :assets do
  gem 'sass-rails',   '3.2.4'
  gem 'coffee-rails', '3.2.2'

  gem 'uglifier', '1.2.3'
end

gem 'jquery-rails', '2.0.1'

group :production do
    gem 'pg', '0.12.2'
end

I spent about 3 hours searching a solution, without luck.

I read 'Ruby on Rails Tutorial' by Michael Hartl, on page 46.

First one error that leads to another, that leads to another...

It starts with this command:

bundle install --without production

That results in this error:

An error occurred while installing sqlite3 (1.3.5), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.5'` succeeds before bundling.

Then, because of the last phrase " Make sure that gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.5' succeeds before bundling. ", I run that command:

gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.5'

And get this error which I have no clue what to do about:

I tried the suggestions on this thread, but all suggestions return with "Command not found".

I tried to run gem install sqlite3-ruby as well, as suggested in this thread, didn't work.

I tried to run gem sources --add http://rubygems.org/ , as suggested in this thread, in case the failure had something to do with HTTPS or HTTP, didn't work.

Any suggestions?

Thank you! Jonas

Answer 1

Please do try to install it as follows :

Answer 3

Did you have SQLite3 installed in system?

If you're using MacPorts:

sudo port install sqlite3

or Brew:

brew install sqlite3
