Currently on Ubuntu 22.04 desktop version and wanted to run ruby on rails app.
Current ruby version: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x86_64-linux] Rails version: Rails 7.1.2
I installed the rails app using rails new blog and then when wanted to install gem files using bundle install I faced this error:

An error occurred while installing rake (13.1.0), and Bundler cannot continue.
In Gemfile:
importmap-rails was resolved to 2.0.1, which depends on
railties was resolved to 7.1.2, which depends on
rake
I tried to do it using sudo but Rails doesn't allow me
How do we fix this issue?
To fix this issue you have to change your path of bundle install using this command:
bundle config path <path>
I used the ~/Documents path that doesn't need written permission
you can use whatever you want.
