Ruby twitter-bootstrap-rails

Question

I am just started learning Ruby rails and immediately facing problem.

I am using Windows 8.1, Ruby 2.2.3, Rails 4.2.5. Problem is I installed twitter-bootstrap-rails gem, like this:

   gem install twitter-bootstrap-rails

, and it said me everything have gone well, no problems. But when I type

   bundle show twitter-bootstrap-rails

it says me there is no such gem. And for that reason I think I cant use rails generator, bootstrap is not in generators list:

   rails g --help

I am completely new in Ruby. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

It sounds like what you need to do is add the twitter-bootstrap-rails gem to your Gemfile, and run bundle install.

Although you installed the gem using gem install, bundler doesn't know that because it's not present in your Gemfile.

Once you add the gem to your Gemfile and run bundle install, bundle show should display the path of the installed gem. Your generators should work as well!
