The sqlite3 gem is not installed.  This is now the default database adapter.
Rails is a fast moving target and tutorials are quickly out of date.  It used
to be MySQL (at least on Linux and I think MacOS).  If you have installed a
different database adapter, set the correct value in config\database.yml.
Otherwise, install the sqlite3.
