I need help starting a new application with ruby.

I followed all the instructions the guy said to do but it didn't work. Do I use Ruby Interactive or the command prompt? I have a Windows 7 seven computer 64 bit

You would use the command prompt, the command is:

rails new app_name

Then generate some models to interact with your database, then some controllers to interpret user input and read from your models, and pretty it up with some pretty views, then you have a rails app!! (Of course it's not as easy as that, but when you break it down it kind of is)

If you want something to help making Ruby applications I would check out this article, very useful for me and it certainly made making gems easier for me!

Hey Gerado Lopez I'm not sure what part you had trouble with but you can skip the "rvm use" command on Windows. Can you maybe paste a screenshot of your issue or copy and paste the error messages?
