I’m attempting to to setup a development environment for Discourse. When running bundle install based on the instructions at Dockerless Install Script I’m getting this error,

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix the issue ?

Search for “Development howto” to find the instructions for your OS, though there is a docker based development install that is increasingly recommended.

@pfaffman Thank you so much for your quick response. And Yes I know, there are already docker based development install available. I’m just playing around with scripting based installation. I didn’t understand your comment Search for “Development #howto” to find the instructions for your OS. Could you please elaborate ?

FYI I’m using Ubuntu 16.04.

There are official maintained howto topics for installing a development setup here. Click the search icon to find them. There is a search icon at the top right.
