Hello fellow rubyists! For some reason I get an error message when I try to run shotgun on my new laptop. I’ve installed all the gems and still it gives me this error

Hello @Sehrish,

Probably the sqlite3 gem is corrupted, so if you re-install it that could do the trick, so first uninstall it:

```auto
gem uninstall sqlite3

```

And then run this command:

```auto
bundle install

```

use homebrew to install sqlite if it’s not already on your mac.
