Ruby on Rails on Mac not generating model

Question

When I type into the terminal rails generate model Message , this comes up in the terminal and there is no model called Messages. What should I do? I am using El Capitan. This is the Picture

Answer 1

You can generate a model by

rails generate model Article title:string text:text 

as copied from this page You can also generate a controller by

rails g controller controllername new create

Answer 2

You are getting this error because you have probably created a new rails project but you have not navigated into the folder of that project yet. So cd into-the-name-of-project and then you can successfully generate models and controller there.

And if you have not created the project yet, run this command - rails new name-of-project
