Debian Rails 6 Webpacker Install Error Troubleshooting

Solving Rails 6 Webpacker Install Error in Debian GNU/Linux

Hi! This Tip Try to Solve Rails 6 Webpacker Installation Error in Debian GNU/Linux Desktops.

This Issue is due from the Conflict between Webpacker and Psyck Ruby Gems.

Webpacker, use Webpack to manage app-like JavaScript modules in Rails.

Psych is a YAML Parser and Emitter. Psych leverages libyaml[https://pyyaml.org/wiki/LibYAML] for its YAML parsing and emitting capabilities. In addition to wrapping libyaml, Psych also knows how to serialize and de-serialize most Ruby objects to and from the YAML format.

Finally, this Setup is valid for all the Debian-based Distros like:

• Kali
• MX Linux
• Deepin
• Parrot
• antiX
• SparkyLinux
• Q4OS
• Netrunner
• Voyager
• MakuluLinux
