Ruby on Rails error: `require_relative': cannot load such file - ruby-on-rails

Working on learning Ruby and RoR over here. Got Ruby, Brew, Bundle and Rails installed. Created a local Rails project on my Mac and was ready to start the local rails server.
But I get an error and I'm just too new to figure out what I should do. Unfortunately the tutorial (which has been easy to follow up to this point) doesn't address what to do next.
Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated.
Here's the error:
... hello_world_ % rails server
Ignoring racc-1.6.0 because its extensions are not built. Try: gem pristine racc --version 1.6.0
bin/rails:3:in `require_relative': cannot load such file -- /Users/.../Dropbox/Mac/Documents/RailsProjects/hello_world_/config/boot (LoadError)
from bin/rails:3:in `<main>'

Try creating the empty file manually with name boot.rb in config folder and try running the server. if the build fails just add these line of codes in config/boot.rb file
ENV['BUNDLE_GEMFILE'] ||= File.expand_path('../../Gemfile', __FILE__)
require 'bundler/setup' # Set up gems listed in the Gemfile.

In this case, the error is giving you a suggestion. Run this command in your terminal:
gem pristine racc -v 1.6.0

Cannot launch cloned ruby on rails app - RubyMine

I have cloned an existing project from github. I installed Ruby and installed Rails on my Terminal.
When I do ruby -v I get ruby 2.5.3p105 (2018-10-18 revision 65156) [x86_64-darwin18]
When I do rails -v I get Rails 6.0.3.1
However when I navigate into my project that I want to run on local host and run the same commands:
for ruby -v I get ruby 2.5.3p105 (2018-10-18 revision 65156) [x86_64-darwin18] which is the same.
and for rails -v I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Has anyone ever had this or do they understand why rails isn't working?
Well, rails command is pretty smart and it knows it will be usually called within the rails project folder. So it have its binstubs - basically those are just a slightly modified commands that lives in your project bin folder, with some additional, project-related power-ups. Regular rails command (and other commands as well) will always check if bin/rails is present in current directory and will use it if it exists. This is why rails -v worked fine outside of your project but didn't inside project folder.
One of the bin/rails superpowers is automatic requiring of all dependencies defined in your project Gemfile. This is normally done through another gem called bundler. Bundler is basically always the first gem you're gona install in your local Ruby environment.
But, you didn't install it yet. Just run gem install bundler to get that running. You will still need to install all the dependencies, you do this via bundle install.
Did you do, gem install bundler before running bundle install after cloning the project?

Rails deployment Capistrano - capistrano/cli (LoadError)

I followed this tutorial.
https://gorails.com/deploy/ubuntu/14.04#capistrano
Now i am stuck at this
I ran this command after set Adding The Nginx Host
cap production deploy
and ran into this, now no idea what to do.
/home/deploy/.rbenv/versions/2.2.4/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in require': cannot load such file -- capistrano/cli (LoadError)
from /home/deploy/.rbenv/versions/2.2.4/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:inrequire'
from /usr/bin/cap:3:in `'
I solve this problem by remove old Capistrano gem.
# remove all old versions of the gem
gem cleanup rjb
I have the same error and it's because I installed this Gem and upgraded my ruby from 2.0.0 to 2.1.9. Reinstallation resolves my issue.
Hope this can help you.
If you still have this problem, I highly recommend you use bundler and
bundle exec cap <args>

no such file to load -- initializer (LoadError)

I have following installed on ubuntu 12
ruby 1.9.2p320
Rails 3.2.6
Now I have old project which is developed into Rails 2 & Ruby 1.8.7
Problem:
When i run below command under old project root directory
ruby ./script/plugin install git://github.com/rails/rails_upgrade.git
Following error comes
Invalid gemspec in [/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p320/specifications/ZenTest-4.9.1.gemspec]: Illformed requirement ["< 2.1, >= 1.8"]

Upgrading the old rails project to new one and getting the invalid gemspec problem.
Then you have to do the following:
Run gem update --system followed by bundle install.
UPDATE:
You are using the same old config/boot.rb from your older version of rails application.
Do the following:
1) Create a new project directory.
2) Generate a new rails app (Of your new latest rails version)
3) Use boot.rb that is created by it.
This happens when you have incompatible version of the same gem already installed on your environment.
To rectify, either you can uninstall and reinstall the gem or install the gem of the specific version.
Make sure that you do a gem cleanup operation before doing so.
This is how my problem was solved . I was using RVM and if you have edited those .bashrc files then each time while you log in to the shell , do a /bin/bash --login . What this does is , it makes the command line take note of the rvm path you had set and installs them first .
I did this on Ubuntu 12 and it did solve my issue , i don't think doing gem update --system is a good idea as it really kind of messes up the environment forcing one to do an rvm implode and install it all over again .

Error with new Rails 3.2.8 project - `require': cannot load such file -- sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError)

I've just created a new amazon Linux instance and installed ruby 1.9.3 and rails 3.2.8.
Upon creating a new project I immediately receive failures due to sqlite3. The error is:
[root#xxxxx fun]# rails server
/usr/local/share/gems/gems/sqlite3-1.3.6/lib/sqlite3.rb:6:in `require': cannot load such file -- sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError)
from /usr/local/share/gems/gems/sqlite3-1.3.6/lib/sqlite3.rb:6:in `rescue in <top (required)>'
from /usr/local/share/gems/gems/sqlite3-1.3.6/lib/sqlite3.rb:2:in `<top (required)>'
I have confirmed that sqlite3 is working just fine outside of rails (i.e. I successfully created a database, did inserts/reads using ruby code). Here is a quick show of loading sqlite3 in irb:
irb(main):001:0> require 'sqlite3'
=> true
I'm all up to date with bundle install. sqlite3 is at version 1.3.6
I have the following packages installed:
ruby19-1.9.3.0-7.17.amzn1.i686
ruby19-devel-1.9.3.0-7.17.amzn1.i686
ruby19-irb-1.9.3.0-7.17.amzn1.noarch
ruby19-libs-1.9.3.0-7.17.amzn1.i686
rubygem19-io-console-0.3-7.17.amzn1.i686
rubygem19-rdoc-3.9.4-7.17.amzn1.i686
rubygems19-1.8.11-7.17.amzn1.noarch
sqlite-3.6.20-1.8.amzn1.i686
sqlite-devel-3.6.20-1.8.amzn1.i686
Any ideas on what I could try to get things working? Thanks!
Update
For "fun" I commented out the gem sqlite3 line from my Gemfile and tried "rails server" again. First it complained about not having a javascript runtime (which I could fix) but then it is getting the following. There seems to be something royally wrong with my install.
[root#xxxx fun]# rails server
/usr/local/share/gems/gems/railties-3.2.8/lib/rails/railtie/configuration.rb:85:in `method_missing': undefined method `active_record' for #<Rails::Application::Configuration:0x9e68f58> (NoMethodError)

You may have a path problem.
To see if you have more than one version of Ruby, Rails, or gem installed:
find / | grep bin/ruby
    find / | grep bin/rails
    find / | grep bin/gem
On Amazon servers, I typically keep the system Ruby as is, and install my own current Ruby by using the excellent ruby-build script (better than RVM, in my opinon).
https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build
If you do have more than one Ruby, I suggest that you set your environment to choose one, for example by using ruby-build or by setting your PATH in your .bashrc file or /etc/environment file something like this:
PATH=/opt/ruby/1.9.1-p134/bin;$PATH
If you're using RVM, I suggest you uninstall it and change to use ruby-build.
To uninstall RVM, I use this script:

Installing a forked github gem of Toto

Ok, this is probably simple, but I'm having a bit of a pain trying to get it to work.
So I was using the gem "Toto", which I installed using "sudo gem install toto", but I recently found a fork of the gem I would rather use here https://github.com/evaryont/toto.
I tried specifying the gem url with --source, but I guess github doesn't support gems anymore aside from "the list". I then tried downloading the forked source and running "rake build" and "rake install" which seemed to create a gem just fine, but when I plug it back into the same application which comes with the gem, it fails to load.
It dies like this.
computer:myblog User$ thin start -R config.ru
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- toto (LoadError)

Sample Toto Application
git clone git://github.com/cloudhead/dorothy.git myblog
I'm also a little discouraged about building the gem like this because I'm hosting on Heroku, and I would like to make sure that I can use this gem on there as well. I suppose I may have to unpack this gem and commit it to my source?
Update
I also tried using bundler with the following in my Gemfile, and I get the same error, would this mean its just an incompatibility in the sample code and the forked gem?
gem "toto", :git => "git://github.com/evaryont/toto.git"
Are you running in a context where the gem exists? Bundler handles :git-installed gems by cloning the source and storing it in a special directory for bundled gems. It's not actually installed to your system, and won't run unless bundler is running first.
Try this:
bundle exec thin start -R config.ru
