What did you type in / what was the output / what operating system are you on? – Ransom Briggs Jun 28 '13 at 21:02

1RVM is only for Linux and Mac OS. I don't know what operating system you are on, but if you are on Windows, an alternative is pik: https://github.com/vertiginous/pik – mario Jun 28 '13 at 21:03

Hi I'm using windows for OS. I just opened a command prompt and it opens with C:\Users\myusername> I typed in the first line from the install. THe reply I got was '\curl' is not recognized as an internal or external command , operable program or batch file. I am a bit lost – sgx Jun 28 '13 at 21:05

On Windows you should try http://railsinstaller.org/, there are versions for Windows and for OSX.

I believe I successfully have git and ruby (v2). But, I' m not sure if I have successfully installed Ruby Gems. When I type in rails --version I get a list of items; I'm not sure if its correctly installed and I don't think it is (I can PM a printscreen)...in particular I do not seem to know how to run the bundler either . Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I've been told I can't use this on Windows before you responded – sgx Jul 01 '13 at 18:34

you can use railsisntaller on windows and it has a support irc channel here: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=railsinstaller – mpapis Jul 01 '13 at 23:46
