Failed to create new rails app - `load ': unable to load such file - / home / *** /. Rvm / gems / ruby-2.2.0 / gems / rails-4.2.0 / bin / rails (LoadError)
I cannot start rails new SomeApp
.
I am getting the following error:
load': cannot load such file --
/home/captainawesome/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.0/gems/rails-4.2.0/bin/rails (LoadError)
Going down the path to:, /home/captainawesome/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.0/gems/rails-4.2.0/bin/rails
the bin directory does not exist .
Also, please know that I can still start the rails server and console, but not rails new app
.
My current setup
Ubuntu 14.04

development environment
$ which rails

Bundler is using a binstub that was created for a different gem.
This is deprecated, in future versions you may need to "bundle binstub rails"
to work around a system/bundle conflict.
Rails 4.2.0
Please be aware that this only works internally.

To add to Arslan Ali's correct answer, you can also avoid endless installation of documentation. If you are as impatient as I am, then:
gem install rails --no-ri --no-rdoc
However, haste and forgetfulness also come with impatience. Fortunately, you can make the docs skipping the default using the method described in this SO post: How do I make --no-ri --no-rdoc the default for installing a gem?
