Thanks for the feedback. I figured my issue. I uninstalled rbenv and ruby-build. I reinstalled via homebrew and noticed I was adding an extra dependency that was not needed. Thanks again for you help.

56,413 PointsThose log lines are what's called a stacktrace. It shows the function that are called from the top function of a program (often called main), and what that function called, etc. when the error occurred. They can get lengthy and unfortunately what you posted from the log wasn't enough to see what the error was. You should look further up until you see a line that says "error" or "exception" or the like.
