Build a Simple Ruby on Rails Application - /statuses runtime error

I'm trying to get a hang of Ruby on Rails but I cannot get the /statuses to load when I run the project. I've followed everything in the tutorial and I can get the server to run to the point where I see the page that welcomes me to Ruby on Rails, but then when I type in "/statuses" after "127.0.0.1:3000" in my browser I get a page with this title every time:

ExecJS::RuntimeError in Statuses#index

Any ideas on how I can find and fix the problem?

Goto your Gemfile, and add the following:

gem 'therubyracer'

Then do a bundle install, and restart rails server. Should fix you up.

I keep running into errors when I run the bundle install. Is there a clean way for me to just re-install ruby on rails and start from scratch again? I don't know what's going on.

If your on a Mac, check out rvm. It makes it much easier to get rails up and running, and gives you the ability to run different gemsets (a package of gems for a specific project).
