Question

So I installed Ruby On Rails using the Windows Installer.

Now the startup guides says I have to start up an Terminal and run the Rails command to make a project. I don’t have a terminal, so how do I execute a Rails command and make a project??

The CMD command line in Windows does not recognize ‘rails’

I don’t think it is an PATH problem, because when I’m in the ‘Bin’ directory, there is ‘rails.bat’ and ‘rails’ with no extension. If I run Rails.bat I get ‘The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.’

I get that message with whatever Argument I pass to it.

Answer 1

It seems to be a bug in the rails.bat file because of double-quotes, like:

@'ruby.exe'' '%~dpn0' %* 

Remove the double quotes:
