5,276 PointsCan't install rails on Mac
I try to install Rails, and it seems like it has installed properly, then go to test it out by enterning "rails new testapp" and I get this prompt:
"Rails is not currently installed on this system. To get the latest version simply type: $ sudo gem install rails"
So I type that command, and again it seems like it has completed, so i try to create a test app again, and the same prompt appears.
