Spree Commerce installation error, Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem “rails”

Question

At the time I install the Spree site (in according with this guide: http://guides.spreecommerce.com/getting_started.html) , I get this problem:

deploy@bothunter:~/rails$ sudo -i gem install rails

Your bundle is complete! Use bundle show [gemname] to see where a bundled gem is installed.

How to solve it?

having the same problem also. Right now I'm using rbenv to manage my ruby versions, but thinking of switching back to RVM so that I have control over my gemsets, that way I can manage which rails gem to use per project or whatever. — Andre Dublin
'you should not install gems with sudo -i' @mpapis, it doesn't matter, because with "sudo gem" the same situation... i think, that: # gem 'spree_usa_epay', :git => 'git://github.com/spree/spree_usa_epay.git', :ref => '0cb57b4afbf1eef6a0ad67a4a1ea506c6418fde1' # gem 'spree_skrill', :git => 'git://github.com/spree/spree_skrill.git', :ref => '37e6159aa71ec053499e2c7aa9cf799a3b3bdb39' has old dependencies... no? — Павел Иванов
sudo -i is bad idea it might change the environment and the place where gems are installed, as for the error, have you tried running bundle install as advertised ? — mpapis
@mpapis, I did it (exit, su deploy...), but: In Gemfile: spree_skrill (>= 0) ruby depends on spree_core (>= 0.70.1) ruby Running bundle update will rebuild your snapshot from scratch, using only the gems in your Gemfile, which may resol. deploy@bothunter:~/rails/mystore$ bundle update Updating git://github.com/spree/spree_usa_epay.git Updating git://github.com/spree/spree_skrill.git Fetching source index for site Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "rails": In Gemfile: spree_usa_epay (>= 0) ruby depends on rails (<= 3.1.3, >= 3.1.1) ruby rails (3.2.1) — Павел Иванов

Spree 1.0 only works with Rails 3.1.3. We'll be looking at supporting Rails 3.2 in the next minor release of Spree. Until that comes out, use 3.1.3, like this:

gem install rails -v 3.1.3
