Shame about this tutorial

It's a real shame that this tutorial is not updated. As when I try to run bundle I get this error

An error occurred while installing json (1.8.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install json -v '1.8.1'` succeeds before bundling.

It basically means that app is not usable. It would have been great if she started from scratch.

To be fair, it is not a tutorial on Β«solving dependency errorsΒ». But if you share the complete error message, the community may help you to solve the issue.

Run bundle update && bundle install to see if you can get gem to properly install the json version you need.

I ran 'bundle update json' and that worked fine for me...gdluck!
