hi,

when i try to run 'rails new myproject' or 'rails -v' i have this message but rails is installed. i don't understand. Someone can help me.

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

I had the exact problem.

As it turned out, the problem was I had a hidden ./bin directory. When I run rails new myapp , it's using binaries in the bin folder. In my case it was ./bin/spring specifically.

I removed this ./bin directory and all is well now.

Answer 2

It's either not in the proper path or it isn't installed. Do this gem install bundler also if you are running rails -v you should get a version like this:

rails -v
Rails 4.2.0.beta2

If you don't, then that means rails is not installed either. Run gem install rails
