Ruby

Ruby set up

I've installed Ruby, and verified the install of both Ruby and Rails via the video.

After installing the text editor, he jumps into "open a terminal and do this..."

His Terminal display looks way different then mine. Am I supposed to do this is Mac Terminal?

When I enter in what he said, "rvm use 1.9.3" my Terminal displays:

"ruby-1.9.3-p392 is not installed. To install do: 'rvm install ruby-1.9.3-p392'"

Did I miss something??

@Dave,

I had a similar issue when taking this course, the developers are using Macs but the Windows instructions are written in the teachers notes below the video.

I don't think Windows users have to worry about RVM, just continue to follow the terminal commands afterwards.

@Kirk,

I'm actually using Mac, and like I mentioned his Mac Terminal looks much different than mine.

When I enter in what he did, I still get the error message.

Also, in the "Deeper Dives" section of Ruby, when he is installing RVM, the code I copy and paste into Terminal results in an error:

"command not found."

Any help on completing an install would be much appreciated. I've tried both the standard tutorial and Deep Dives methods, none of which are working.

Thanks

Are you sure you are using Terminal and not console?

@Jack - Yes, I am using Terminal and not console.

Hey Dave, can you email help@teamtreehouse.com if you're still having trouble? I think we need to do some troubleshooting more specific to your system.

same story here. Had went down to the letter however when it got to the part rails generate scaffold status name:string content:text "

it runs an error

Could not find gem 'jquery-rails (>= 0) ruby' in the gems available on this machine.
Run bundle install to install missing gems.

I tried running "gem install bundler" once more and try it again, but it keeps sending the same error :((

Aleksandr, try opening up your Gemfile and adding "gem 'jquery-rails'" then running bunlde install again.
