require 'rspec/autorun' not showing within spec_helper.rb file

I created the rails project on my local machine and have been following along but noted that when I opened the generated "spec_helper.rb" file that the require 'rspec/autorun' line was missing but visible within the tutorial.

Should I manually add this line?

The tutorial uses RSpec 2.x. If you have version 3 or later, there will be differences, because RSpec changed a lot between these two versions.
