Verify your installation by opening terminal and running the following commands to check the versions of Ruby and Rails:

ruby -v
rails -v

Once you've verified your installation, you should then be able to create your application and start your server by running the following commands:

rails new blog
cd blog
rails server

You can replace "blog" with the application name of your choice.
