Rails not installing properly

Question

I am a noob in rails. I tried to install ruby and rails using RVM. Ruby was installed. But when I try to install rails using gem install rails --version 4.0.0, I get the following message:

Successfully installed rails-4.0.0
Parsing documentation for rails-4.0.0
Done installing documentation for rails after 1 seconds

After that

rails -v
The program 'rails' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install rails

I have no idea what's going on.

The current version of Rails is 4.0.0. You don't have to specify anything while installing. Just use:

gem install rails

Also, which version of ruby do you currently have install? The recommended version for rails 4 is Ruby 2.0.0. Can you run gem list and see if you can find Rails in the output?

You can get full installation instructions for Rails from here

Also use Ruby 2.0.0 for rails 4

I have ruby 1.9.2-p320 . Is it compatible with rails 4? – curious_coder Jul 30 '13 at 09:46

@Debadatt he was asking "is it compatible...", and i don't think that it's an issue with ruby version at all – Said Kaldybaev Jul 30 '13 at 10:02

you need to use ruby first:

rvm use ruby --install
gem install rails -v 4.0.0

also make sure to read the outputs of rvm - it will give you notes and warnings when something is wrong
