Your Ruby version is 1.9.3, but your Gemfile specified 2.2.1

Question

There were so many questions on this topic but none could help me to solve the issue.I am new to ROR. I am trying to run following command

rake db:create

it throws error though I have ruby 2.2.1 installed and by default it is pointed to

Your Ruby version is 1.9.3, but your Gemfile specified 2.2.1

I tried running following commands to check which ruby version is being used

ubuntu@myserver:~/workspace/railpro/appraiser-events/bin$ ruby -v
ruby 2.2.1p85 (2015-02-26 revision 49769) [x86_64-linux]
ubuntu@myserver:~/workspace/railpro/appraiser-events/bin$ which ruby
/home/ubuntu/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/bin/ruby
ubuntu@myserver:~/workspace/railpro/appraiser-events/bin$ echo $PATH
/home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/bin:/home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-        2.2.1@global/bin:/home/ubuntu/.rvm/rubies/ruby-    2.2.1/bin:/home/ubuntu/.rvm/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/ usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

This shows that i am using ruby 2.2.1 and in my Gemfile also it points to 2.2.1 but when I use rake db:create it throws this error.

When I tried to change the Gemfile to point to 1.9.3 it said the reverse

Your Ruby version is 2.2.1, but your Gemfile specified 1.9.3

I tried putting a .ruby-version file in the top level directory and mentioned the 2.2.1 inside that but it didn't work

Run with bundle exec:

bundle exec rake db:create

This will ensure that the rake command is executed in the context of the current bundle.
