I just installed ruby on rails on my new computer ( I was using instantrails before) and I’m trying to get everything setup.
Im running Windows 7. So I followed the instructions from this tutorial.
http://blogupstairs.com/ruby-on-rails/installing-ruby-on-rails-on-windows-7/
The problem i’m guessing is step 3
“Add the newly installed bin directory to your path in your windows system : Open windows explorer-> right click the icon computer-> choose Properties -> in the contol panel Home, Click Advanced system settings and then click Envitonment Variables button->in the system variables click new and add new system variables like this : Variable name : RUBY_HOME , Variable Value : C:\Ruby, after that add it in to the path and add the bin after a semicolon to the “Path” variable like this : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\AGL;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;%RUBY_HOME%\bin”
I set created the system variables but when I try to run script/generate in the main directory of my app I get the error
“Ruby: no such file or directory –script/generate”
I checked the apps directory and the script folder is in there. How can I run the “ruby script/generate” commands from the control panel?
I was guessing it was something with the path but I dont know any ways to check to find out whats going wrong.
Are you using Rails 3.0+? In this version of rails and up, the script/* folder has been deprecated in favor of
rails generate,rails server, etc. See here.
