Error viewing /statuses

I've attempted the steps in this video twice now, and each time when I navigate to localhost:3000/statuses I get the error ExecJS::RuntimeError in Statuses#index. The highlighted line is <%= javascript_include_tag "application", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>. I pasted the full source of the error page here: http://pastebin.com/xNSNthug

Any idea what's causing this? I would really like to move forward with these lessons but I don't think I can until I fix this.

Thanks for the link, Artem. The fix for me was installing node.js and then adding its install directory to my PATH environmental variable. Apparently this isn't the first time this came up and I should've done a better job of searching before posting my question: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/ruby-status-issue
