Installing Ruby - Can't connect to Rails server

I can't get Ruby to be installed on my Mac. I'm stuck just before getting connected to the Ruby server. Please help.

Stuck here: "rails new testapp cd testapp bin/rails server"

Thanks.

I just did this :).

  • The first command is:
    • rails new testapp
  • Then you change the directory to the testapp:
    • cd testapp
  • Then you go to bin/rails server:
    • bin/rails server
