I am trying to learn Ruby on rails following the “Agile Web Development with Rails” book.
In the book it says how to create a doc file for your project:

rails_apps> rails new dummy_app
rails_apps> cd dummy_app
dummy_app> rake doc:rails

but I get this error:

rake aborted!
Could not find a JavaScript runtime. See https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs for a list of available runtimes.

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

why? and how can i fix it?

    You need to install a Javascript runtime. There are a few options listed in the URL in the error message (https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs). If you don’t have a strong preference, I’d recommend therubyracer (Google V8).

    Just add this to your Gemfile:

    gem 'therubyracer', require: "v8"
    

    and run

    bundle install
