I have GitHub for Windows on my system, and I use the Git shell provided with it. As far as I know, their installer doesn't include Unix command line tools. Will that be an issue when trying to follow along with the RoR course?

Courses Plus Student 22,267 PointsI had the exact same problem with sqlite. I fixed it by modifying the gemfile.lock in my project directory. It can contain an incorrect reference to 'sqlite3 (1.3.7-x86-mingw32)'. After changing it to 'sqlite3 (1.3.7)' the server ran without errors.
