while tryying to run 'rails s', why does it fail and ask to INSTALL gem 'therubyracer' to use Less

I was able to load everything to start using Twitter bootstrap on my ROR application. I even loaded 'therubyracer' gem. Its a windows machine and it seems there are many that have had issues with it.

Solution

  • Comment the following gems in Gemfile and set the version of twitter-bootstrap-rails then bundle install :-

    gem "twitter-bootstrap-rails", '2.2.6'
#gem 'therubyracer', :platforms => :ruby
#gem "less-rails" #Sprockets (what Rails 3.1 uses for its asset pipeline) supports LESS

    As on windows therubyracer and less-rails gems are not required.
