Firstly, apologies for any inconsistencies: this is my first experience with Ruby and RoR.
I've been trying to install Rails for Ruby 2.4.5.
I am required to stick to Ruby 2.4.5, and I am given a Gemfile.lock file with a dependency on Rails 5.1.5.
Also i'm using rbenv for version management.
When trying the following:
gem install rails -v 5.1.5
I get the following error:
ERROR: Error installing rails:
racc requires Ruby version >= 2.5.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)).
I am running a MacBook with an M1 Pro chip. This had created a few complications while installing Ruby, so I suspect this might be a potential reason?
I tried installing different versions of Rails, although this goes against the gemfile, but to no avail.
I tried to install the gemfile directly through Bundler, thinking maybe that'd install Rails, but got the following:
