To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:

extconf failed, exit code 1

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/stefan/.rbenv/versions/2.4.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/nio4r-2.3.1 for inspection.

An error occurred while installing nio4r (2.3.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install nio4r -v '2.3.1'` succeeds before bundling.
         run  bundle exec spring binstub --all
Could not find gem 'puma (~> 3.11)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile.
Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.

I tried to make a new Rails app when I got this error.

I ran rails new portfolio to start a new portfolio project for myself. Could someone please help me with this error?

Not sure what to look for in the error message above.

I am using macOS 10.14.2 if it helps

Install XCode if you don't already have it installed. Then install the Xcode command line tools, by running the following in your Terminal:

xcode-select --install
