I am trying to run the bundle command to install all the gems the Odot application since I have downloaded the project files. All gems have downloaded without a problem but the sqlite3 gem has not. I have no idea what the following means could somebody please explain what is going on and how to fix?

An error occurred while installing sqlite3 (1.3.8), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.8' succeeds before bundling.
What is the problem and how do I fix it? Thanks.

3,075 PointsI've had something similar to this happen to me. There were a few things that needed changing to get it to work. I found this stackoverflow which has some ideas. Here's what worked for me:

First, make sure you have XCode installed on your macbook air. This may fix the issue. If it doesn't we may need to
'gem install bundler'
for the version of Ruby that you have running on this application. If you change any executables, you may also need to
'rbenv rehash'

3,075 PointsWhat message do you get when you
gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.8'
Not 100% sure on why the bundler is not working here, but that's what the error message suggested.
