Modern Front-End Development for Rails, Second Edition: can't get code to run

I just bought this book today and am having trouble getting the sample code running on an M1 MacBook.

I cd into chapter_01/02 do git init to save the initial state. Then I install Ruby 3.1.2 and run bundle install.

An error occurred while installing html_tokenizer (0.0.7), and Bundler cannot continue.

In Gemfile:
  erb_lint was resolved to 0.1.1, which depends on
    better_html was resolved to 1.0.16, which depends on
      html_tokenizer
$ ruby -v
ruby 3.1.2p20 (2022-04-12 revision 4491bb740a) [arm64-darwin24]

Here’s the error log:

make failed, exit code 2

I spent almost an hour with Copilot trying to debug it, but still couldn’t get it to run. I updated some of the dependencies, but that just created other errors where it couldn’t find the Logger.

Has anyone been able to get the sample code working recently?

Where Next?
