Uninitialized constant Post

Hello I was taking the course and trying to build a simple blog. It was fine to do

Post.create(title: "....", body: "....") in IRB

However, the second time I would like to make more posts for test as in the video, it told me "NameError: uninitialized constant Post"

I have done everything the video told me to, could someone tell me why does this happen?

Thanks in advance.

That error is telling you that you have no model called Post. Ensure you have not mistyped the name of the model, or even named it 'Posts' or 'posts'.
