Trouble installing coffee-rails gem in Ubuntu 14.10 [SOLVED]

When attempting to create a new test app in rails, I keep getting the error :

Could not find gem 'coffee-rails (~> 3.2.1) ruby' in the gems available on this machine.

This is after installing the coffee-rails 4.1.0 gem.

Do I need to install an earlier version to get this working?

UPDATE:

After troubleshooting further, I discovered that a few dependencies were missing and installed them.

Was this solved? It's says solved, just did'nt see the answer posted here. I assume you ran:

sudo apt-get install coffee script

or sudo npm apt-get install coffee script

I ran bundler and it gave Me an error and a possible solution. I followed the instructions given and it worked. I can't recall the method that was suggested, however.
