Did you remember to first type irb into the Console then type out Ruby commands?

If you did, try typing irb into the Console then typing out Ruby.

Good luck! ~alex

No....

That's weird.

If this continues to bother you, you can do this (only if you are on a Mac or Linux):

  1. Search for a application called "Terminal" (it is built in to any Mac/Linux)
  2. Type irb.
  3. You should be in your own computer's irb locally! :)

Note: You can use irb anytime even without Internet this way!

I hope this helps.
