Install nokogiri on macOS Sierra (10.12)


I tried to install nokogiri for macOS and found few issues:

$ gem install nokogiri

************************************************************************
IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Building Nokogiri with a packaged version of libxml2-2.9.4.

Team Nokogiri will keep on doing their best to provide security
updates in a timely manner, but if this is a concern for you and want
to use the system library instead; abort this installation process and
reinstall nokogiri as follows:

    gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries
        [--with-xml2-config=/path/to/xml2-config]
        [--with-xslt-config=/path/to/xslt-config]

If you are using Bundler, tell it to use the option:

    bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries
    bundle install

Note, however, that nokogiri is not fully compatible with arbitrary
versions of libxml2 provided by OS/package vendors.

To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:

  /Users/admin/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/extensions/x86_64-darwin-15/2.3.0-static/nokogiri-1.6.8.1/mkmf.log

extconf failed, exit code 1

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/admin/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/nokogiri-1.6.8.1 for inspection.

But after few experiments with installing and manipulation depends libraries libxml2 and libxslt, that give me nothing. I found really simple solution. You need to open your terminal and execute follow commands:

xcode-select --install

Xcode Command Line Tools contains tools and libraries from Apple for developing software on macOS. And right after that try to install nokogiri:

gem install nokogiri

Found the solution on the stackoverlow.
