Could not find sqlite3

Rails
1

I am trying to get Ruby/Rails running on my mac but having some issues.

I created a new rails project “blog_test” trying to get something
working.
When I follow this guide
Getting Started with Rails — Ruby on Rails Guides it says to do a
“db:create”. This is where I get this error…

Could not find gem ‘sqlite3 (>= 0)’ in any of the gem sources listed in
your Gemfile.

If I do a ‘which sqlite3’ I get the following path /usr/bin/sqlite3.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Maybe doing gem install sqlite3 fixes it?

I did a gem install sqlite3 and got this…

I tried what you mentioned and it didn’t work. But, I am not sure what
you mean by “post your gem file”. Which file is this?

I got this…
