gem install money problem!

Hello,

Concerning the currency video on ruby, as I input gem install money in my interactive ruby prompt. I got this following error:

NameError: undefined local variable or method money' for main:Object from (irb):29 from D:/heroku/ruby-1.9.2/bin/irb:12:in<main>'

You'll need to run the command gem install money from a normal prompt, not from within IRB.
