It's a little more work, but you can just create the files in the correct folders and copy in the relevant code. Go to the correct folder and create a text file and save it as "user_spec.rb". Replicate the code at the top of the file. Scaffolding is just an 'automated' way of creating the files that you need in the right folders. This could be done by creating all the files manually and applying the appropriate coding to each file, but given that we're all new to Rails, it's easier to utilize the rails commands to get things started.
