Please elaborate. What commands did you run? Did you create the .rb file? Were you in the proper directory in the terminal?

  1. Make sure you created the file.
  2. That it ends on .rb
  3. And make sure you are on the same directory

Tips:

  • Use "pwd" to print working directory (current directory)
  • Use "ls" (lowercase L) to have a list of files in the current directory.
  • Use "cd" to change directory example: cd Documents/Ruby

If you are not used to terminal, make sure to read about it, watch some videos cause this should really help you out for future references, hope this helps.
