Description

The README claims the gem is compatible from ruby 1.9.3, which since the introduction of chef-utils is not true anymore as it requires Ruby 2.6.

Just for illustration in a docker container on ruby:2.1

root@5883763004c9:/# ruby -v
ruby 2.1.10p492 (2016-04-01 revision 54464) [x86_64-linux]
root@5883763004c9:/# gem -v
2.6.12
root@5883763004c9:/# gem install mixlib-install
ERROR:  Error installing mixlib-install:
	chef-utils requires Ruby version >= 2.6.

The README should probably be update to reflect the state.
