I followed the tutorial at https://www.darkoperator.com/installing-metasploit-in-ubunt/
I chose rbenv over rvm to install Ruby. The installer led me to install ruby 2.4.2.
#ruby -v
ruby 2.4.2p198 (2017-09-14 revision 59899) [x86_64-linux]
#rbenv -v
rbenv 1.1.1-28-gb943955
It worked at first but then everything went downhill. I feel like I'm just missing something very obvious. When I run...I get:
#sudo -E ./msfrpcd -U USER -P PASSWORD -a 127.0.0.1 -p 55554 -S
[!] There was an error parsing `Gemfile`:
[!] There was an error while loading `metasploit-framework.gemspec`:
can't modify frozen String. Bundler cannot continue.

This is also the critical line in the Armitage script "teamserver" that fails.
I'm not experienced with ruby other than Ruby on Rails almost 10 years ago. Again, I feel like I've missed something stupid with my lack of experience with ruby. Let me know if I can provide some more information.
Thanks for any help!
