Mongify Ubuntu 14.04 installing error

I am trying to install mongify in my Ubuntu 14 box, but its throwing some error:

gem install mongify

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::DependencyError)
Unable to resolve dependencies: mongify requires bson (>= 1.10.2); bson_ext requires bson (~> 1.12.5); mongo requires bson (~> 4.0)

I already have installed mongo db in my machine, which is working fine. Is there a seperate package needed to be installed for BSON?

Solution

  • Figured it out, So ubuntu 14 has an inbuilt ruby, which is a lower version. We need a higher version of that. So what we have to do is create an virenv with the higher version.

    1.)Install ruby. Follow the steps in this link https://gorails.com/setup/ubuntu/14.04 (Install using rvm method)

    2.) Install Bundler. gem install bundler

    3.) Install mongify gem install mongify
