Answer 1

Simone's answer is great. However, if you already have your Rails gem in your Gemfile, just try to use bundle exec instead:

bundle exec rails c

And that should suffice. If not, then add

bundle install

before the mentioned command.

Answer 2

Worked for me

rvm reinstall 1.9.3

then

gem install rails

Answer 3

I also had this issue after I installed ZSH (Wanted to mess with it's templates.)

Ran

brew update

which did find some updates I wasn't missing before, but in the end

gem install rails

suddenly completely re-installing the rail/ties system. Unsure why ZSH removed it.

Answer 4

I ran into the same problem and, in my case, it turned out to be because I had installed using sudo - it does not necessarily make rails available to ordinary users. Try running just gem install rails if you previously ran sudo gem install rails.

Answer 5

I did 'gem install rails' on my system (ubuntu) and it installed the missing gems approx 28 of them then i did 'gem list' to check and it was all there.
