rake db:create - Could not find a JavaScript runtime

Question

Here is the error I get:

sergio@sergio-VirtualBox:~/blog$ rake db:create
rake aborted!
Could not find a JavaScript runtime. See https://github.com/sstephenson/ex         


        

Answer 1

I had the same error, but then I reinstalled Ruby193 with all the checkboxes (Tc/Tk, associate rb, and add to PATH).

And then deleted the GEMFile.lock

Edited the Gemfile whereever I saw gem therubyracer, I changed it to: gem therubyracer, :platform => :ruby

• Then bundle install

• Then rake db:drop

• Then rake db:create

• Then rake db:migrate

and so on
