Troubleshooting
Gosu gem dependency will require native build tools. In Windows that means having the Ruby DevKit which can be downloaded from RubyInstaller.org and in Debian Linux installing build-essential, libsdl2-dev, libsdl-ttf-dev, libopenal-dev, libpango1.0-dev, libsndfile-dev, and ruby-dev packages.
# In Debian based Linux
sudo apt-get install build-essential libsdl2-dev \
libsdl2-ttf-dev libopenal-dev libpango1.0-dev \
libsndfile-dev ruby-devOn Mac, install SDL2 with Brew before installing the gem.
brew install sdl2
