An error occurred while installing RedCloth (4.2.9), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install RedCloth -v '4.2.9'` succeeds before bundling.

I tryed to install ruby multiple times but it's not solving my problem. Do you have any hints?

I had this problem on MacOS and it was fixed by agreeing to the Xcode License. I had recently updated Xcode and it turns out that I needed to re-agree to the license in order to use the command line tools successfully.

Just run:

xcodebuild -license
