I’m a newbie starting to learn Ruby. I have created this code, however it returns it keeps returning NoMethodError, undefined method new. What am i doing wrong here?

class Pessoa
  attr_accessor :nome, :idade, :altura

  @@lista = []

  def self.lista
    @@lista
  end

  def initialize(nome, idade, altura)
    pessoa = self.new
    pessoa.nome = nome
    pessoa.idade = idade
    pessoa.altura = altura
    @@lista << self
  end
end

pessoa1 = Pessoa.new("Joao",13,2)

    During the execution of Pessoa#initialize self holds an instance of the class Pessoa. Therefore, you’re trying to call new on an instance of the class Pessoa.
    This is impossible, because new is a instance method of class Class: you’re correctly calling it on the Pessoa class in the last lines, but you can’t call it on an instance (such as pessoa1 or pessoa2, or the self in the Pessoa#initialize method), because none of them is a Class, and therefore don’t define the new method.

    The correct code would be:

    class Pessoa
      attr_accessor :nome, :idade, :altura
    
      @@lista = []
    
      def self.lista
        @@lista
      end
    
      def initialize(nome, idade, altura)
        @nome = nome
        @idade = idade
        @altura = altura
        @@lista << self
      end
    end
    
    pessoa1 = Pessoa.new("Joao",13,2)
    pessoa2 = Pessoa.new("Alfredo",15,1)
    puts Pessoa.lista.inspect
