When trying to start my server using windows to start my odot project, I get the return shown above. I would greatly appreciate some much needed help on what I should do. I don't know if I should just input 'rails server' or if the bin is somehow is related to this particular project. Thank you to anyone who can take a moment and help.

When installing Git on Windows, make sure you select the option to also install "Git Bash". It may even have been enabled by default, and put into the right-click context menus for Explorer. So, either right-click in your desktop or any directory, then choose "Git Bash Here", then proceed as normal. ;)

Happy learning!
