One solution is to downgrade to the previous version of Ruby, which is 2.7.3, and then reinstall pry and pry-doc.

To do this, enter the following command lines in you terminal in order:

rbenv install 2.7.3 rbenv global 2.7.3 rbenv rehash 

Then, the terminal command "ruby -v" should return specifying the current version of Ruby.

Continue with:

gem install bundler pry byebug gem install pry gem install pry-doc 

Once inside pry, entering the "require 'pry-doc'" command should not raise the error pertaining this question.
