gem install bundler gem install rails Install NodeJS Verify you are running a recent version of Node with:
node -v If your Node version is not 16.x.x, install it and set it as the current and default version with:

Install Postgresql Heroku requires that you use PostgreSQL for your database instead of SQLite. PostgreSQL (or just Postgres for short) is an advanced database management system with more features than SQLite. If you don't already have it installed, you'll need to set it up.
PostgreSQL Installation for WSL To install Postgres for WSL, run the following commands from your Ubuntu terminal:
sudo apt update sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev Then confirm that Postgres was installed successfully:
psql --version Run this command to start the Postgres service:
sudo service postgresql start Finally, you'll also need to create a database user so that you are able to connect to the database from Rails. First, check what your operating system username is:
whoami If your username is "ian", for example, you'd need to create a Postgres user with that same name. To do so, run this command to open the Postgres CLI:
sudo -u postgres -i From the Postgres CLI, run this command (replacing "ian" with your username):
createuser -sr rickie Then enter control + d or type logout to exit.
This guide has more info on setting up Postgres on WSL if you get stuck.
Postgresql Installation for OSX To install Postgres for OSX, you can use Homebrew:
brew install postgresql Once Postgres has been installed, run this command to start the Postgres service:
brew services start postgresql
