Treehouse TeacherDoes running ls bin/ produce output like this?
$ ls bin/
bundle rails rake setup spring update
If you instead get ls: cannot access 'bin/': No such file or directory, you need to change into your Rails app's directory before running bin/rails.

Courses Plus Student 2,479 Pointsbin/rails scaffold post title:string rails aborted! Don't know how to build task 'scaffold' (see --tasks)
How do I fix this issue?
Jay McGavren
Treehouse Teachervictor manda , you need the generate command before the word scaffold:
bin/rails generate scaffold Post title:string
Make sure that Post, your model name, is capitalized as well.
Be careful not to make any mistakes with these generate commands! Check that the capitalization (Post vs. post) and pluralization (Post vs. Posts) of each word matches the tutorial. If you make a mistake on the command line, you may have hard-to-diagnose problems later.
