I installed Ruby and Rails and everything was working fine until I started installing the VM on my Mac, ugh! Now I keep getting an error and I don't even know if I need to use that VM. This is the error: Priscillas-MacBook-Pro:~ priscillapwood$ rails new testapp

Overwrite /Users/priscillapwood/testapp/bin/rake? (enter "h" for help) [Ynaqdh]
Should I overwrite it? Do I really need to install this VM?
So frustrated....

10,605 PointsThis is just a comment about your problem with the VM. During the teachers lectures, there are some remarks that are made about the VM. The instructors, from the courses that I have taken so far,have used the VM for their courses, but always state that if you do not have one you can still follow along. I do not use the VM at all. I simply have the project in a directory in my computer, and I simply work with it using the command line and a browser. I follow along with the instructor, update the code, start the rails server on the command line, and continue from there.
