How to fix bundler executable conflicts in the `techAPJ/install-rails` script?

I run the github.com/techAPJ/install-rails installation script from the «Beginners Guide to Install Discourse on Ubuntu for Development» @techAPJ’s article in the latest stock (unmodified, without any extra packages previously installed) version of Ubuntu Desktop (16.04.3 LTS):

bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/techAPJ/install-rails/master/linux)

The script leads to the conflict:

Installing Bundler …

Fetching: bundler-1.16.1.gem (100%)
bundler’s executable “bundle” conflicts with /home/dfediuk/.rbenv/versions/2.4.2/bin/bundle
Overwrite the executable? [yN]

Should I answer y, N, or maybe the installation is already in a wrong state?

It has been a couple years since I got a “update bundler” prompt. I figured “latest is best” and upgraded bundler.

Unfortunely, at that time, some of what Discourse needed to be in bundler was not in the upgraded bundler. I had to start over and ignore that with a no

But “linux” last got a commit a month ago, so I would guess it should be OK to upgrade bundler. Worse case, you will need to start over. Else wait for techAPJ to reply.
