Unable to install json version 1.8.2 gem for Ruby version 2.5.3 on Ubuntu 20.04

I am trying to run a rails server and when I run the bundle install command, I get the following error:

An error occurred while installing json (1.8.3), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install json -v '1.8.3' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'`
succeeds before bundling.

When I run the recommended command gem install gem install json -v '1.8.3' --source 'https://rubygems.org/', I get error building native extensions

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing json:

I don't know how do I go about solving this, any help would be much appreciated
