Gem::InstallError: byebug requires Ruby version >= 2.0.0

This isn’t a very well documented change, so I thought a simple post that Google may find for another confused engineer might Help. Apparently byebug is no longer being maintained so you simply need to update to “pry-byebug”

Remove:

gem 'byebug'

1	gem 'byebug'

Replace with:

gem 'pry-byebug', platform: [:ruby_20]

1	gem 'pry-byebug', platform: [:ruby_20]
