I am trying to run a bundler install on vscode for windows, but every time I do, I keep getting the same message:

An error occurred while installing byebug (11.1.3), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install byebug -v '11.1.3' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds before bundling.

In Gemfile:
  byebug

And then when I try to see if gem install byebug succeeds i get this response:

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

I am not very experienced with coding or computers, I am actually now just trying to learn how to work within these programs, but I have no clue how to fix this or what to do.

Can anyone help me?

Your system is missing native packages to compile byebug etc. You need to install this and try again. e.g

apt-get update && apt-get install -y build-essential

Your system might be missing some ruby dependencies. The way I fixed this error on my Ubuntu based system was installing the ruby-dev package like this:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install ruby-dev

I am not so sure about window's systems, but I think problem is the same: missing dependencies. This link might be useful if you need more help: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation/

Make sure that gem install byebug -v '11.1.3' --source 'https://rubygems.org/' succeeds before bundling.

So run gem install byebug -v '11.1.3' if the problem persists, try gem install byebug without specifying a version. Doing so, gem will search for the newest one.

However, if the problem persists, your ruby version 2.7.1 may not have support for this byebug version yet. On this case, try a stable ruby version, for now 2.6.5, 2.6.6, that is, all 2.6.x are stables at this moment.

After you succeed well running gem install byebug, run bundle install againg.

What helps me a lot with ruby and rails was taking a look on the official ruby web page. On there you'll see many links to how to use the appropriated ruby version and rails versions according to your Operation System.

These things are not shown to much on tutorials.
