I installed middleman, but I still have v3.4.1 and not v4 as expected

Question

I don't know if I am thinking right, but I couldn't find anything on the web regarding the installation of middleman v4. I did the installation as explained on Middleman website : https://middlemanapp.com/basics/install/

And my Gemfile in my middleman folder is still showing

gem "middleman", "~>3.4.1"

Am I doing something wrong ?

Answer 1

The problem is that the ~> designation is preventing your app from installing any version of the Middleman gem that is higher that 3.5. Try changing that line to something like this:

gem "middleman", "~> 4.2"

After updating your Gemfile, you'll need to run bundle update middleman to update the Middleman gem.
