gems

why is my computer not letting me install any gems? this video seems to not be descriptive enough, for I am having many problems that he just does not encounter even though I am doing everything exactly the same

Hi! It would be helpful if you described where exactly things go wrong or what errors you get... It's hard to solve your situation without more information.

I type into cmd ruby install 'gem' and it comes up saying it cant install it from the website

ok, can you try writing this into cmd ruby -v

it should print out something like ruby 2.0.0 something something if you see that it means you have ruby 2.0.0 installed and you should continue installing gems by typing gem install what_you_are_installing

example: gem install sqlite3
