Installing Rails -v 3.2.14 Ubuntu 12.04

Question

I'm trying to install rails on ubuntu 12.04. I installed it, but when I try to use rails new it says rails not installed. After running gem environment I get this output:

ben@ben-V5-131:~$ gem environment

Is the problem that rails might be installed in the global gem path?
