Ruby RVV USE 1.9.3 doesn't work

Hi guys,

i've installed rails and everything completely but when i type in rvm use 1.9.3 my windows CMD screen displays " 'rvm' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

This is probably a basic problem and i have just missed something. Would someone please be able to help me out?

thanks very much in advance :):):)

As noted in the teacher notes below the video you don't need to use rvm use on Windows because that command is only supported on Linux/OS X.

You can get advise on setting up RVM here. If your doing the Rails videos they are using Rails 3.2 not the latest version 4. So ensure you follow with 3.2 as you will run in to errors if use the wrong version
