MacOSX Lion run server without therubyracer gem

Question

I was using a cloud9 ide online but I had to install gem rmagick. But the ide did not let me to do and gave an error. So I decided to download my project in to my local area. Then when I try to bundle install, it throws and error for therubyracer.

I though Osx has its own way to handle java part. So if i take out gem rubyracer from gem file, bundle install works fine. But then when i say rails server, i get an error;

rails server

Answer 1

I had a similar problem installing Rails on a Rapsberry Pi because therubyracer has no package for arm processors.

It can be solved installing node.js which you can download here: https://nodejs.org/download/

After you installed it you can remove therubyracer from your Gemfile and run bundle again. After you did that everything should be fine...

// You also need to add this line to your Gemfile:

gem 'execjs'

Then run bundler again.

Its described here: http://ajacevedo.com/2013/using-node-js-as-a-rails-javascript-runtime/

// IN your case the Less Gem requires therubyracer not rails itself. So its a gem specific problem. It has been discribed here: https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails/issues/336

One of the guys seemed to solve it this way:

... Anyways, removed both gems, 'therubyracer' and 'less-rails-bootstrap'. Now using 'bootstrap-sass'.
