Ubuntu 14.04 Rails missing file - ruby-on-rails

when installing Rails, everything was good but then, i write:
rails -v
and the output:
/home/toshiba/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require': cannot load such file -- rails/cli (LoadError)

everyone know how to do it?
I used this tutorial: http://installfest.railsbridge.org/
and yes, i run:
gem install rails
I noticed that when i run install rails this thing is pop up

It seems bad

I've fixed this problem by
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

This pops up in your install process:
zlib is missing; necessary for building libxml2
I guess you need to sudo apt-get install libxml2.
Edit I got downvoted and probably the answer about installing zlib is (more?) correct. I wonder if installing libxml2 (or libxml2-dev) would have helped as well, there was unfortunately no comment about output of that experiment.

I'm not really sure what to make of this. I've tried reinstalling uninstalling and reinstalling zlib but it didn't seem to change anything. I'm on OS X Sierra version 10.12.3 by the way.
Solved by this thread using
sudo gem install rails -- --use-system-libraries --with-xml=/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/

How can I get permission to write to the gem directory in Ubuntu?

I'm trying to build my first application in Ruby on Rails, but when I run bundle install I get this message:

I'm new to Ubuntu and Ruby on Rails. How can I solve these problems?
It looks like you're missing prerequisites.
Nokogiri's "Troubleshooting Ubuntu/Debian Installation" documentation says:
Here’s what you should do if you should find yourself in this situation:
1 sudo apt-get install ruby-dev zlib1g-dev
Please report it as a bug if this doesn’t work for you (see Getting Help for details).
Because you're using Ubuntu and doing a normal install, you'll need sudo to do any gem installs.
I'd strongly recommend using rbenv or RVM to manage your Ruby installation(s) as they'll make your life a lot easier. If you use those, you won't need to use sudo again, except for any system-wide prerequisite libraries.

Try installing the libgmp-dev library
apt-get install libgmp-dev
Using RVM to install rails in ruby 2.2.3 has been a major problem among other users as well. For now, you can still get rails 4.2.4 in ruby 2.2.2.
Try:
rvm install 2.2.2
rvm --default use 2.2.2
gem install rails
this should still work. RVM for some reason does not install the right headers in 2.2.3 for you to build the gems.
For OS X users: remember update the Xcode command line developer tools, this is the problem for the 99% OS X users. xcode-select --install
You can try this amazing solution for this
The solution is:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
Or, if that doesn't work, depending on your ruby version, run something like:
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev
Should fix your problem.
Still not working? Try the following after installing ruby-dev:
sudo apt-get install make
This solution is for nokogiri error:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
As the error says check in the mkmf.log file. There you'll find the missing header files.
In my case I was missing zlib.h. The error was:
The #include file "zlib.h" is not found
So to fix it:
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
To find required dev packages, one can use apt-file
$ apt-file search zlib.h
zlib1g-dev: /usr/include/zlib.h
