Ruby on Rails generators are not working

Question

I have a problem. When I'm trying to generate something via rails g/rails generate controller/model/etc I got this message as an output in my terminal. What I am doing wrong?

PS Added ruby and rails versions, just in a case.

Answer 1

Rails 4.2 requires ruby version at least 1.9.3. Prefers 2.0+

Don't use outdated version.

Also, is look like you are using system ruby. Don`t use it. Stick to rbenv or RVM
