`require': cannot load such file -- mechanize (LoadError)

[ahaghgoo]

Hi, I tried to run this but I get the following result. I'm not experienced with command line so please forgive me if this is an easy fix. Thanks for your time and consideration!

ruby instapaper_to_pdf.rb
Traceback (most recent call last):
2: from instapaper_to_pdf.rb:15:in

' 1: from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in require'
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in require': cannot load such file -- mechanize (LoadError)``

@ahaghgoo Thanks for opening this issue.

The quickest way to get up and running would be to run this command from the command line:

sudo gem install bundler

Then from this project's folder:

sudo bundle install

This will install a couple things you need to run the Ruby script.

Please let me know if this resolves your issue, and I'll get this added to the README.

Thanks David for the quick reply! After running the second command, I came upon this result: sudo bundle install Don't run Bundler as root. Bundler can ask for sudo if it is needed, and installing your bundle as root will break this application for all non-root users on this machine.
