I'm trying to install the puma gem, but when I run

gem install puma

I get this error message:

Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit

ERROR:  Error installing puma:

Adding gem 'puma' to my Gemfile and running bundle install isn't an option, because that just doesn't work with any gem and gives me an error message (which is a separate issue, one that I've circumvented with the other gems I've used by installing them via gem install).

Came across very same issue.

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

fixed it for me.
