Rails Paperclip Install Error

Question

I want to use paperclip in my project. So I added this to my gem file:

gem 'paperclip'

If i now run bundle install i get the following error message:

Fetching http://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip.git
remote: Counting objects: 5249, done.

Does someone know how to fix this error?

P.S.: I get the same eror when running:

rails plugin install git://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip.git

Answer 1

i'm having the same problem as you, i'm currently looking into the solution on this page: https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/pull/621

edit: good news, everyone! this seems to have worked for me (i'm using Windows 7). tl;dr: save paperclip as a directory on your computer and refer to it in your gemfile. then use bundle install.

gem 'paperclip', :path => 'vendor/gems/paperclip'

Try gem "paperclip", "~> 2.4.5" in your gemfile
