An error occurred while installing therubyracer (0.10.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install therubyracer -v '0.10.2'` succeeds before bundling.

Answer 1

Follow these steps:

Terminal

gem uninstall libv8

Gemfile

gem 'therubyracer'
bundle install

That's it. your libv8 and therubyracer version were not matching, so you were getting that error.

Answer 2

Use ruby 2.2.0 and it should work.

For me it didn't work with ruby 2.1.x with any possible setting. With ruby 2.2.0 it worked smoothly.
