http://localhost:3000/users

instead I got this google chrom message

Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to localhost:3000

Looks like the server didn’t start. It should happen on all browsers not only on chrome. Follow the section 1.2.5 of same tutorial and check whether the server starts it’s execution without throwing any error. You should do this:-

$ rails server
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
