Research direction

The issue reports that both sudo gem install slather and gem install slather fail on macOS Mojave with Xcode 11.3.1, but the error details are only in the attached screenshots. Read the installation error in those screenshots and check whether the project documents gem installation requirements; done means identifying a reproducible cause and a confirmed installation fix.
