Add ~/.rbenv/bin to your $PATH for access to the rbenv command-line utility.
$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile Ubuntu Desktop note: Modify your ~/.bashrc instead of ~/.bash_profile.
Zsh note: Modify your ~/.zshrc file instead of ~/.bash_profile.

8,293 PointsI had purchased this computer from someone so maybe that could be the reason i still have to use sudo commands and its denying permissions...?? Any input would be great thanks.

36,441 PointsSo do you have Ruby and Rails installed? If so, did you try running rails server without any bin/ in front (also make sure you are in the project folder when you run this)? Try this and paste the output you get here. Don't follow Ruby/Rails installation guides here, they are old. Follow some other installation guides like this one, depending on tour version of Mac OS: https://gorails.com/setup/osx/10.10-yosemite

18,872 PointsThis may be a stupid response, but twice you posted "localhost3000 ". In your browser are you adding the colon between localhost and 3000?
localhost:3000

8,293 Pointsnone of these seem to work for my computer. It keeps telling me permission denied and yes I did try the sudo command first. Not sure why I have to even use the sudo command in the first place since it is my comp.
Also I am not sure if this step is the reason why i cannot connect to the localhost3000 because i also get error messages when trying bin/rails server command
