rails rbenv: rails: command not found

Question

I have recently moved from RVM to Rbenv and when attempting to execute rails I am getting an error like the one below

Pauls-Air:~ $ rails
rbenv: rails: comma         


        

Answer 1

I ran into the same issue, but none of these other solutions (or any of the others I found elsewhere) worked. I was about to go back to RVM, so I decided to get rid of rbenv completely and it paved the way to the solution.

Try the following - it worked for me:

1. uninstalling rbenv, remove all references rbenv in your bash profile, and remove the remaining rbenv file folder and its contents.

2. Reinstall rbenv with homebrew.

3. Add it back to your bash profile:

   export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
   eval "$(rbenv init -)"
   

4. Restart the shell:

   exec $SHELL -l
   

5. Check the path:

   echo $PATH
   

6. Install Rails:

   gem install rails
   

7. rbenv rehash
