I cannot get my Todo Lists to work because Turbolinks is missing. Can anyone help?

(I am using Ubuntu for my work.)Here is the code returned from the local server

ActionView::Template::Error (couldn't find file 'turbolinks'
  (in /home/bob/Source/projects/odot/app/assets/javascripts/application.js:15)):
    3: <head>
    4:   <title>Odot</title>
    5:   <%= stylesheet_link_tag    'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
    6:   <%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
    7:   <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
    8: </head>
    9: <body>
  app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:6:in `_app_views_layouts_application_html_erb___1245507908162251074_37507940'

The application.js file is requiring turbolinks. When I look at my local gems I see that turbolinks (2.5.2) is available. I am not sure what to do.

Thank you

Can you paste the /app/assets/javascripts/application.js file?

And your gemfile as well, along with gemfile.lock.

Bob,

This should not look like this:

gem 'jquery-rails'
 'turbolinks'
gem 'jbuilder', '~> 2.0'

Change this to gem:

gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'turbolinks'
gem 'jbuilder', '~> 2.0'

And run bundle install in the console and see if that helped.

Maciej, thank you for helping me! I do appreciate it. Here is the application.js file copy:

// This is a manifest file that'll be compiled into application.js, which will include all the files
// listed below.
//
// Any JavaScript/Coffee file within this directory, lib/assets/javascripts, vendor/assets/javascripts,
// or vendor/assets/javascripts of plugins, if any, can be referenced here using a relative path.
//
// It's not advisable to add code directly here, but if you do, it'll appear at the bottom of the
// compiled file.
//
// Read Sprockets README (https://github.com/sstephenson/sprockets#sprockets-directives) for details
// about supported directives.
//
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks
//= require_tree .

Here is the gemfile which appears to have 'turbolinks' listed but not as a gem:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '4.1.7'
gem 'sqlite3'
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 4.0.3'
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.0.0'
gem 'jquery-rails'
 'turbolinks'
gem 'jbuilder', '~> 2.0'

#gem 'sdoc', '~> 0.4.0',          group: :doc


#gem 'spring',        

group :development, :test do
    gem 'rspec-rails', '~>2.0'
end

group :test do
    gem 'capybara', '~>2.1.0'
end

Also, here is the gemfile.lock file
