thank you for taking the time to read this. I’m extremely new to this, and am currently following a textbook for learning Rails, so apologies if I’m slow to pick up instruction. I’m currently on Chapter 5 of the Ruby on Rails tutorial (3rd edition), and part of this is my fault as I fiddled with something (I’m not exactly sure what) and now I get this error: I’m trying to install Bootstrap, and I was supposed to add a line of code in my gemfile. But now every time I try to run bundle install, I receive this error.
[!] There was an error parsing `Gemfile`: You cannot specify the same gem twice with different version requirements.
You specified: rails (= 4.2.2) and rails (~> 6.0.3, >= 6.0.3.1). Bundler cannot continue.
# from /home/ubuntu/environment/sample_app/Gemfile:10
# -------------------------------------------
# # Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
> gem 'rails', '~> 6.0.3', '>= 6.0.3.1'
# # Use sqlite3 as the database for Active Record
# -------------------------------------------
I know it’s probably something basic and obvious, but I would appreciate explicit instruction because I’m completely lost. Any and all help is appreciated! This is what my Gemfile looks like:

gem 'rails', '4.2.2'
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '3.2.0.0'
git_source(:github) { |repo| "https://github.com/#{repo}.git" }

As the error message says, you have a couple of declarations for the
rails
gem.Remove
gem 'rails', '4.2.2'
(at the top of the file, aftersource 'https://rubygems.org'
) and runbundle install
(or justbundle
).Hope this helps!
Rails is defined twice on your Gemfile.
First on line 3 and the second on line 10. Just remove the first from line 3 and try
bundle install
again.
