Help: Ruby Newbie Trying to Install on OSX 10.7.3

I entered in "rails" from the terminal prompt. Here is what I got...... any help is appreciated

Last login: Sun Mar 11 15:26:54 on console 67-61-37-207:~ clesceri$ rails 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. 67-61-37-207:~ clesceri$ sudo gem install rails Password: ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)     HTTP Response 302 fetching RubyGems.org | your community gem host 67-61-37-207:~ clesceri$

So I did some searching and it said I need to update my ruby version. 67-61-37-207:rubygems-1.8.17 clesceri$ ruby setup.rb

and I get

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)     Permission denied - /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/gauntlet_rubygems.rb 67-61-37-207:rubygems-1.8.17 clesceri$ gem i rails --no-rdoc --no-ri

I am wanting to learn how to write rails but this is hard to get this installed. Any help is appreciated.

Hey Craig,

I’m also new to Ruby on Rails. This link was SUPER helpful — It will walk you through the set-up step-by-step, based on your system

Good Luck!

Hey Kisha... track the messages more closely. I was not the OP and rather was suggesting a solution to the OP.
