I've spent the last few hours trying to figure this out. I've even gone over to developwithpassion.com and followed the install rvm with cygwin for windows tutorial. I just can't seem to get this working. I'm running Windows 8 and I've installed rails and everything checked out on the last tutorial. However, I can't generate the treebook application as explained below because none of my command prompts recognize rvm as a command. Has anyone else had this problem and figured it out?
When I type rvm 1.9.3 into the console I get the following error: -bash: rvm: command not found
I even tried to install Pik and I still can't resolve this issue.

It is also not necessary to type the rvm use command on Windows.

It's worth noting that while pik & rvm do similar things, they are otherwise unrelated and each uses their own unique commands. If you want to use Pik you'll need to read up on those commands.

Ok. I've gone though the steps. Things seems to check out in my console. However, when I go to http://0.0.0.0:3000 I get a page not found error.
After running rails server I get all the output that it shows in the demo video so I'm not sure what the issue is.

6,318 PointsThanks James,
I finally got it.

6,318 PointsHey James. Do you have any idea of what could be the problem above? I've tried to trouble-shoot this with no success. I was cruising along until this rails setup section.
