bin rake/spec ... No command 'bin' found?

What in the world does this mean and how can I fix it?

treehouse:~/projects/odot (master) $ bin rake/spec
No command 'bin' found, did you mean:
 Command 'win' from package 'wily' (universe)
 Command 'bino' from package 'bino' (universe)
 Command 'tin' from package 'tin' (universe)
 Command 'bip' from package 'bip' (universe)
 Command 'bing' from package 'bing' (universe)
 Command 'bins' from package 'bins' (universe)
bin: command not found

The answer is simply that you're typing the command wrong. You wanna run the rake executable in bin, so you should write your command like this:

bin/rake spec
