Hi

Am new to LS and am trying to install the Avro codec in my LS 5.5.2 but get the following error:

Error Bundler::InstallError, retrying 1/10  
An error occurred while installing logstash-core (5.5.2), and Bundler cannot continue.  
Make sure that `gem install logstash-core -v '5.5.2'` succeeds before bundling.

I do not have ruby installed but is it required??!!!

Thanks in anticipation,  
Sandeep
