Hi, It seems that the problem is "Bignum & Fixnum are deprecated", try to change it to "Integer", can I see the migration that you're trying to migrate?.

Hi, I actually don't know... I'm trying to follow this active record basics tutorial and I am about at 3:52 on the "quick and dirty example" video. The migration is straight after sublime is opened through the command line... sorry if this doesn't explain much, and thank you for trying to help!
