Answer 1

Make sure your gems are installed correctly and using correct versions of sqlite. Check you have this in your Gemfile:

gem 'sqlite3',  '~> 1.3.11'

Then from root of your project run

bundle install

You may also need to run this if you have not already.

rails db:create db:migrate #this is for rails >= 5

or

rake db:create db:migrate  #rails <= 4.2
