Okay, so instead of creating a new application I downloaded a folder from GitHub ran on Ruby on Rails. Would I just do cd foldername/ and then do rails server to run the application?
Not sure what to do? I want to run it to pull up the application on the browser

It reads the following: Getting started Here’s how to get rolling:
Use rails generate to create your models and controllers To see all available options, run it without parameters.
Set up a root route to replace this page You're seeing this page because you're running in development mode and you haven't set a root route yet.
Routes are set up in config/routes.rb.
Configure your database If you're not using SQLite (the default), edit config/database.yml with your username and password.
my application root is the folder though, and it reads that on the website. Where would I go from there?
