At the end after installing all the gems he goes to his treehouse directory??? What am I suppose to type?

Hi David,

Because he has a file called "treehouse" in the desktop, I think Jason Seifer doesn't explain very well.

Let me help you.

  • Go to your desktop - let's type in your terminal: "cd Desktop"
  • then create new file - type: "rails new treehouse" (you will find new folder called treehouse in the desktop)
  • then locate file you create - type: "cd treehouse"
  • then see the lists inside the file - type: "ls"

  • then lastly to run server - type: "rails s" or "rails server"

  • now open your Chrome browser - type : http://localhost:3000

Hope that helps. :)

Hello and thanks! Can you help me with this:

Hi David,

Sure! Can you type below:

first - "brew install libyaml" and then - "rvm reinstall 2.2.2"

Let me know.

Salman please see below:

All commands can be run with -h (or --help) for more information.

Oh you have to leave treehouse folder to the root outside. Let's type: "cd "

and then do same the following methods - first - "brew install libyaml" and then - "rvm reinstall 2.2.2"
