3,501 PointsHelp! Can not install Ruby on Rails
I am having difficulties installing Ruby on Rails. After running the installer from rails installer.org i get several error messages.
When using Terminal to verify, I see only the old version of ruby and no rails.
Please help!!!

If anyone else experiences this or similar problems I was able to fix it by:
- Opening Disk Utility
- Choosing my Macintosh HD
- Clicking Repair Disk Permissions

Regarding "When using Terminal to verify, I see only the old version of ruby and no rails.", after installation you must open a new terminal window to see the appropriate output. I was having the same issue and a new window salved it.
Sorry for reposting some of this info in this answer that I posted in a reply above. I am new to the forum and still learning the format.

Treehouse Guest TeacherHey Aaron Walton your computer might not have the correct CPU to run that app. What kind of computer do you have?

12,211 PointsThanks Aaron. I forgot to say that i found out that it won't work because I'm running a 32 bit machine not a 64 bit one.
Thanks for all the help anyway, much appreciated.
