If you have a Mac computer you should check: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/installing-a-ruby-on-rails-development-environment-in-os-x
If you are on Windows: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/installing-a-ruby-on-rails-development-environment-in-windows
And if you are on Ubuntu: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/installing-a-ruby-on-rails-development-environment-in-ubuntu
Hope that helps!
