Stuck on rails installation

Hi,

After entering gems install rails, The screen seems to stop at "installing ri documentation for rail". I waited for more than 20 mins then after ctrl C, did "gems install rails --no-ri --no-rdoc". Result was "successfully installed rails-4.2.5. 1 gem installed." My concern is that in the video, 'gem install rails" returns "27 gems installed"...will my installation work fine or should I do something differently?

thanks

Hi Mam,

I would try rails new test_app then cd to it and see if rails server gets an app running at localhost:3000 If not you should get an error telling you what gems you need installed.

Thank you Seth for replying. Running rails server gave me a lot of errors again. So I did what has been advised in lot of forum responses; Uninstalled Ruby 2.2 and installed 2.0. It has been going good so far with 2.0.
