Courses Plus Student 39,959 Points1.9.3 [~/Projects]$
this is the shell (console) path of the teacher's machine but since you are on a windows PC when you open cmd.exe you will see something like:
C:\Users\Danny>
This is normal

2,294 PointsRails 3.2.18
Roberto Alicata
Courses Plus Student 39,959 PointsOk... your rails is a bit old... go to cmd.exe and type these three command (one at time):
gem install bundler
gem install sqlite
gem install rails
Danny Slewa
2,294 Pointsi did all that though in the previous video...but it says cant find a valid sqlite...in the previous video they told me to put sqlite3 and i did .. i did all this in the previous video
Roberto Alicata
Courses Plus Student 39,959 Pointsok, now .. is your rails updated to version 4.2.x ?
Danny Slewa
2,294 Pointsit says in the video that i should follow these versions i originally had 4. something but the video told me to come back to this so it can work properly..i dont know
Danny Slewa
2,294 Pointsno its not updated...when i click gem install rails it says ERROR: while executing gem (NoMethodError) undefined method size for nil:NilClass
Roberto Alicata
Courses Plus Student 39,959 Pointsmhhh I think it is better to remove the installation from RailsInstaller and follow the instruction from this link: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/installing-a-ruby-development-environment/installing-a-ruby-development-environment/installing-ruby-on-windows

Roberto Alicata
Courses Plus Student 39,959 PointsInstalling rails on a windows machine has never been easy.
I suggest to use the virtual machine with VirtualBox & Vagrant
follow this video and you will have a fully functional virtual machine with rails4 installed and the console will be very similar to the tutorials
