Courses Plus Student 19,663 PointsI am running windows, i have tried running CMD by right click and run as admin. I am unable to do anything. The video course Build a simple ruby on rails application, these are the things i have tried "rvm use 1.9.3 and i get the error 'rvm' is not recognized as an internal or external command. I then created a new directory which i do have permission to write to and get the error from original message above. I might add the tutor on this video seems to fly through the intro without much guidance which is a stark contrast from all the other tutors on here. Any advice or other questions you need to ask would be great thanks for responses above guys.

A quick search of the forum yielded this thread which you might find to be of some use. https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/unofficial-guide-to-actually-finishing-the-ror-intro-tutorial

Courses Plus Student 19,663 PointsThanks i will have a look at that link. That's what i mean about the tutor quality. It was a little to fast paced for a beginner course. Seems to me like some steps where missed in the video.
