I’m using 4.2.7.1 and I want to upgrade to Rails 5.0.0.1. So I adjusted my Gemfile like so
# Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
gem 'rails', '~> 5.0.0.1’
# Use Puma as the app server
gem 'puma', '~> 3.0'
# Use SCSS for stylesheets
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 5.0'
# Use Uglifier as compressor for JavaScript assets
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'
# Use CoffeeScript for .coffee assets and views
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.2'
# See https://github.com/rails/execjs#readme for more supported runtimes
# gem 'therubyracer', platforms: :ruby
# Use jquery as the JavaScript library
gem 'jquery-rails'
# Turbolinks makes navigating your web application faster. Read more: https://github.com/turbolinks/turbolinks
gem 'turbolinks', '~> 5'
# Build JSON APIs with ease. Read more: https://github.com/rails/jbuilder
gem 'jbuilder', '~> 2.5'
# Use Redis adapter to run Action Cable in production
# gem 'redis', '~> 3.0'
gem 'uuids'
gem 'addressable'
gem 'postgresql'
gem 'pundit'
gem 'omniauth-oauth2', '~> 1.3.1'
gem 'omniauth-google-oauth2'
gem 'omniauth-facebook'
gem 'omniauth-twitter'
gem 'omniauth-linkedin-oauth2'
gem 'jquery-ui-rails'
gem 'will_paginate'
gem 'bootstrap-sass'
gem 'autoprefixer-rails'

gem 'pdf-reader'
gem 'jquery-turbolinks'
gem 'tor', :git => 'https://github.com/dryruby/tor.rb.git'
gem 'tor_requests'
gem 'tor-privoxy'
gem 'net-telnet'
gem 'mechanize'
gem 'activerecord-import'
but when I try and run “bundle install” (after deleting Gemfile.lock), I get these errors …
localhost:myproject davea$ bundle install

What do I need to do to get my Rails version upgraded?
Edit: Output in response to answer given
localhost:myproject davea$ rails app:update
Error: Command 'app:update' not recognized
Usage: rails COMMAND [ARGS]
The most common rails commands are:
generate Generate new code (short-cut alias: "g")
console Start the Rails console (short-cut alias: "c")

From the Ruby on Rails Docs, it looks like rails app:update will help update you from rails 4 to 5.
http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html
There is an article on how to upgrade rails and rails_app Updating to Rails 5.0
You should upgrade your local ruby and rails versions first, then upgrade your app.
But after update your app to rails 5 you should probably make some changes. There is another article on how to do this Rails Upgrade Checklist
I guess this is the best http://railsapps.github.io/updating-rails.html but you should check your tests before upgrading.
You cannot until you find substitute for uuids gem, because even the latest version of uuids requires hexx-active_record which requires activerecord < 5, while rails5 requires activerecord 5. moreover the hexx-active_record gem is not available on rubygems. see this link https://www.versioneye.com/ruby/hexx-active_record/6.1.0.
so the only solution as of now is to find substitute for uuids
