Trouble installing rspec using bin/rails.

When I tried to install rspec using the command bin/rails generate rspec:install a pop up would appear asking which program I would like to open the program inside. When I choose a program I receive this text:

!/usr/bin/env jruby.exe

APP_PATH = File.expand_path('../../config/application', FILE) require_relative '../config/boot' require 'rails/commands'

What does that mean?

Also, I can install rspec without using the bin command. Just rails genereate rspec:install seemed to do the trick.

Will I have any issues if I continue on without using the bin command?
