missing gems

In following along with ActiveRecord - Migrations, after I try to create the database with "rake db:create", a message is generated saying, "Could not find gem 'mysql2 (>= 0) ruby' int the gems available on this machine. Run bundle install to install missing gems"

I don't know how to run bundle install, or what gems to request.

In your terminal type bundle install and hit Enter when you are in your app folder, this will install all gems that are in your gem file and were not yet installed on your machine. You have to run bundle install every time you change something in gemfile.
