How do I use this command? I am up to 1.2.4 Bundler but was unable to run the first part of this section from Hart'l's tutorial. It is simply:

cd first_app/ subl Gemfile

  • I know that I have the files before it installed (the git, rails, ruby, gems). I also downloaded Sublime Text and Aptana IDE but am not familiar with either – sgx Jul 05 '13 at 19:28

This are two commands.

You have to type it in your console/ terminal.

The first is:

cd thePathOfYourApp

cd = change directory

and then 

subl Gemfile

means the Gemfile should be open with Sublime (a text editor)

  • I'm sorry - what is the console? the command prompt? or Sublime Text (text editor)? – sgx Jul 05 '13 at 19:31
  • if you are working on a windows machine it should be the command prompt – cruxi Jul 05 '13 at 19:32
  • Thanks very much for your help. I opened my command prompt (run cmd.exe) and typed in cd first_app. This worked I believe. But when I did subl Gemfile I got the following message: 'subl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file' When I use Sublime text and type that stuff in, how do I compile? – sgx Jul 05 '13 at 19:34
  • your command prompt does not know about sublime as text editor. thats why it doesnt know the command subl. – cruxi Jul 05 '13 at 19:38
  • have a look at this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9440639/sublime-text-from-command-line-win7 you have to add sublime so that you can use it in command prompt – cruxi Jul 05 '13 at 19:38
  • but the gemfile has nothing to do with "compilation" – cruxi Jul 05 '13 at 19:39
  • in order to "start" your app you have to start the rails server with rails s (but I guess this should all be mentioned in hartls tutorial.. ;) ) – cruxi Jul 05 '13 at 19:40
  • OK - THanks so much for your help. Let me look through th eother forum. I downloaded Sublime so let me take a few minutes. But your help is really appreciated! – sgx Jul 05 '13 at 19:41
