rspec install not working

I am trying to follow the to do rails project within my own project, when I try to do "rails g rspec:install" in my terminal I get the following error: Could not find generator rspec:install

The gem is in the gemfile, I can run bundle show rspec and it shows me that it is in fact installed.

I've looked all over the internet and can't find an answer to this issue, any help would be greatly appreciated. My gemfile can be found here:

It also doesn't make a difference if I state which version of rspec to use or not.

Womp. I figured it out, apparently I needed to add the gem 'rspec', after doing that everything was happy days. Don't know why that was different to the recorded version, but hey, if anyone else is stuck thats what worked for me. So just to be 100% clear, that means you need gem 'rspec-rails' plus gem 'rspec'

and then bundle obvs.
