mate hello.rb

Hey,

I have ruby installed. I also have textmate installed in my app folder (e.g. when I type open -a text mate the application pops open.

In an early Ruby exercise, I am supposed to write mate hello.rb

But I receive: Lukes-MacBook-Pro:~ lma58$ mate hello.rb -bash: mate: command not found

How is this possible? I don't want to only use nano hello.rb to edit the file.

Ah I just figured it out.

When I first installed textmate, I did not activate the shell command under Preferences. I just enabled it.

Got it!
