I am attempting to install Ruby and Rails for the first time and cannot get Rails v6 to install properly. My machine is Windows 10. I have Ruby 2.6.5p114 and RubyGems 3.0.6. I am attempting to install rails 6.0.0. My terminal shows the installation going smoothly until it tries to build native extensions. I wonder if I am trying to install the incorrect versions of Ruby, Rails, or RubyGems? Here is the full command prompt with error at the bottom -

HEADS UP! i18n 1.1 changed fallbacks to exclude default locale.
But that may break your application.
Please check your Rails app for 'config.i18n.fallbacks = true'.
If you're using I18n (>= 1.1.0) and Rails (< 5.2.2), this should be
'config.i18n.fallbacks = [I18n.default_locale]'.
If not, fallbacks will be broken in your app by I18n 1.1.x.
For more info see:

I tried updating Gem like other posts have suggested with no luck. Any insight into my issue would be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: Rails v4.0.0 installs fine. v5.0.0 provided the same error. Will I have issues running Ruby 2.6.5p114 and Gems 3.0.6 and working with Rails 4.0.0? What things will I not be able to do with this lower version? I'd prefer to not settle with v4, I'd rather have v6.
UPDATE 2: Rails v4.2.11.1 installs fine as well. It was updated most recently in March 2019, even though v5 was released in June 2016. I will stick with v4.2.11.1 for now until otherwise helped.
I had the same problem. I could install with the following command:
But I got version 4.0
