Alexander Ruby
Courses Plus Student 620 PointsTrouble Starting Ruby on Rails
Hi everyone! I'm kinda new to the programming world and would like to learn all I can.
I started the first part of Ruby on Rails, and I'm having a bit of trouble. Watching the video on generating our Rails App, the video says they have re-made the directory [Projects]. I know this may seems silly, but I'd like for him to go into greater detail on creating one. I opened up the cmd on windows and created the directory, but how do I open it and start generating the app inside the file?
I've tried using the Command Prompt with Ruby and Rail and Git Bash, but it says the directory has been made but I can't open it I guess.
It's also saying the command rvm use 1.9.3 isn't recognized as a command? hmmm
I hope most of this made sense. Thanks

Treehouse Guest TeacherHi Alexander Ruby once you make a directory you can type "cd [directory name]" to go in there from a command prompt. Everything else should work from there.
You can ignore the "rvm" command on Windows.
