Hey Ashna Dabas try running sudo gem install nokogiri --version=1.6.1 then running bundle install again and let us know if that helps.

Unfortunately this did not work for me. I keep getting an error the bundler cannot continue, and to make sure nokogiri succeeds before bundling

Hey Jason Seifer I fixed the issue by leaving the treehouse VM (exit) and then running the command from the regular terminal. It worked fine that way. (Everything installed).
