There was a spat at the company. The tech lead no longer got along with the CEO and left the field to you. Whether freshly purchased or moved up from engineering is not that important. You see your new role as an opportunity to grow personally on fresh tasks. Unfortunately you don't understand much about Ruby on Rails and your first attempt to launch the fallow version 2.0 of your platform ends in error messages like these ones:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing nokogiri:

Presumably there are other error messages lurking there (e.g. generic ), documentation is missing and your employees are only familiar with frontend technologies.
