Getting error when trying to bundle fast_stack on windows

Question

I'm trying to understand how to fix error:

Gem files will remain installed in C:/inetpub/wwwroot/DISCOU~2/GEM_HOME/gems/fast_stack-0.1.0 for inspection.

It happens when I write "bundle install" command for the discourse.org application installing on Helicon Zoo environment.

Answer 1

It appears that it's not the Zoo itself, more issue with the gem. Try to install it separately, outside the environment of Zoo. Simply Ruby, in test catalog, but outside the Zoo. If that's working, contact HeliconTech directly and address as an issue, they're quite quick and good at fixing these things.
