Rails using gitbash and ruby installer. rails command not found

Question

I am trying to get Ruby on Rails going on my Windows 7 machine. I am using gitbash and have install ruby using ruby installer. All my gems have installed successfully (Rails 3.0.7), but when I try to run a command like rails s I get sh.exe": rails: command not found

echo $PATH gives me:

/c/Users/Dave/bin:.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/Ruby192/bin:/c/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Windows Live:/c/Program Files/NVIDIA Corporation/PhysX/Common:/c/Windows/system32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/c/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/AGL:/c/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystem/:/c/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Windows Live

Since the path for Ruby is in there I am at a bit of a loss for how to be able to start the rails server.

Answer 1

running gem install rails fixed it

Answer 2

This Problem confuses basic developers. Because they simultaneously use both Git Bash & Command Prompt with Ruby and Rails.

When we type "Rails any command" in CMD with Ruby and Rails, we don't see any failure. But if we run the same command in gitbash means, we get the result "Command not found". Running "Gem install rails" fixs it for gitbash users as the above sayings.

For those who use both Git and Cmd with ROR, they can get the command executed anyhow by running on any of the one...
