How to solve tzinfo error on ruby on rails?

Question

Trying to learn ruby on rails and I keep coming up with this error:

rails aborted!
TZInfo::DataSourceNotFound: tzinfo-data is not present. Please add gem 'tzinfo-data' to your Gemfile and run bundle install
Caused by:

when I'm starting a new project

I'm using Windows 10 64bit.

Though I keep adding gem "tzinfo-data" to my application's GemFile AND use gem install tzinfo in cmd, it doesn't work. It may work temporarily but the error keeps showing up each time I'm trying to insert another command in cmd (like rails s).

gem "tzinfo-data", platforms: %i[ mingw mswin x64_mingw jruby ]

This line is already in my GemFile when the error pops up. I already tried several solutions found online.

Answer 1

Just remove the platform part This is how your gem name should look like

 gem "tzinfo-data"

Answer 2

you can install tzdata package on Debian

apt install tzdata
