try putting the path of chrome drivers in your PATH variable if you are on a linux distro with bash.

Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app| Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome) end

Download the Chrome driver executable and copy it in you path, e.g. /usr/bin/ and make it executable

$ sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/chromedriver

this worked for me
