Could not find 'eventmachine'

Question

I'm trying to install Dashing on my Linux mint. I'm having trouble with the gems it requires. I've installed the Dashing gem, but when I try to run dashing I get this error about eventmachine:

   /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:298:in `to_specs': Could not find 'eventmachine' (~> 1.0) - did find: [eventmachine-1.0.8-java,eventmachine-1.0.0-java] (Gem::LoadError)

gem list: (among others)

eventmachine (1.0.8 java, 1.0.0 java)

most of my other gems, don't mention java. I'm I pulling down the wrong gem?

thanks

Without knowing what else is in your Gemfile it's hard to help. Are you using JRuby? — Dave Newton, Aug 12 '15 at 17:52
no. jruby is not installed. I don't have a Gemfile. I can't get to the point in which dashing creates a Gemfile. I get the same error if I type: dashing generate mydashboard — ed_is_my_name, Aug 12 '15 at 18:47
`gem install dashing` worked w/o any issues or warnings? I'd try using rvm/rbenv with a separate gemset. — Dave Newton, Aug 12 '15 at 19:17
could the problem be with rubygems? perhaps, i need to reinstall it? — ed_is_my_name, Aug 13 '15 at 02:46

Dashing makes use of a gemfile, so you should be able to install all dependencies with Bundler.

If you don't have it installed already, install it: gem install bundler

Now, cd into your dashboard directory.

Then, install the bundle for your dashboard: bundle install

Then, for good luck, run bundle exec dashing start to start your dashboard. This will ensure that Dashing runs from the bundle you just installed.
