I get the “could not locate gemfile or .bundle/ directory” error as the title says. How can I fix it so the error goes away?
Here is my detail:

source 'https://rubygems.org'
 
 gem 'rails', '3.2.3'
 
 group :development do
  gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.5'
 end
 
 
 # Gems used only for assets and not required
 # in production environments by default.
 
 group :assets do
  gem 'sass-rails', '3.2.4'
  gem 'coffee-rails', '3.2.2'
  gem 'uglifier', '1.2.3'
 end
 
 gem 'jquery-rails', '2.0.0'
 
 group :production do
  gem 'pg', '0.12.2'
 end
$ bundle install --without production

When I operated it, I received the error text:

could not locate gemfile or .bundle/ directory

I appreciate any help from you.

Simply change the directories in your app and then run bundle install:

  1. You must be listed in the same Gemfile directory

  2. This worked in my case:

    • cd /usr/bin
    • touch Gemfile
    • You can now run bundle install.

  3. This problem occurred on Ubuntu 18.04. I updated the gem 

    sudo gem install rails
sudo gem install jekyll
sudo gem install jekyll bundler
cd ~/desiredFolder
jekyll new <foldername>
cd <foldername> OR 
bundle init
bundle install
bundle add jekyll
bundle exec jekyll serve

    All worked and goto your browser just go to http://127.0.0.1:4000/ and it really should be running

  4. gem update --system was helpful to me when I faced a similar problem. This should be run before you use bundle install

  5. This problem was also experienced on an OSX system. Rails wasn’t installed on my OSX machine, which was surprising as Rails is always included with OSX. To install rails

    • sudo gem install rails

    • To install jekyll, I also needed sudo

    • sudo gem install jekyll bundler
    • cd ~/Sites
    • jekyll new <foldername>
    • cd <foldername> or cd !$ – that is magic 😉
    • bundle install
    • bundle exec jekyll serve
    • Then in your browser just go to http://127.0.0.1:4000/ and it really should be running

  6. In the same command, you can also indicate the path of the gemfile. 

    BUNDLE_GEMFILE="MyProject/Gemfile.ios" bundle install
