I am on a fresh install of OS X Mountain Lion. I have installed rails via:
sudo gem install rails
Everything seems to install correctly, but when I type the rails command (rails s, rails -v, etc), I get this error:
Rails is not currently installed on this system. To get the latest version, simply type:
$ sudo gem install rails
You can then rerun your "rails" command.
The result of 'which rails' is /usr/bin/rails
I thought it was a path issue, and perhaps it is, but I can see that /usr/bin is part of my PATH.
Any help? Thanks!
UPDATE: I noticed everything on my other mac with same exact OS works pretty well... I just can't remember how I got it to work that way. If I run 'which rails' I see it's in a totally different place /Users/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/rails
Use RVM http://rvm.io or rbenv to install newer Rails versions than what come pre-installed with OS X.
Follow examples on the site https://rvm.io/rvm/install/ but basically:
Install RVM: $ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
You can then $rvm list known to see what Rubies are available to you (lots). And simply $rvm install 1.9.3 to get the most current version of Ruby (which as of this writing is ruby-1.9.3-p327)
Set that ruby as your default $rvm --default use 1.9.3
Create a default gemset to store your gems $rvm use 1.9.3@mygemset --create --default
Then install Rails $ gem install rails will get you current which today is same as typing gem install rails -v 3.2.9
