I am a newbie to ruby on rails. I am using the pragmatic programmers agile development with rails book. I am at the beginning, i have installed MySQL and ruby on rails but the book asks me to "create a directory". Being a person who has only ever done a basic ruby trial (at tryruby.hobix.com) and learnt extremely basic HTML is there anyone out there who can help me and give me instructions as how to "create a directory". Your help would be much appreciated. Sorry to bother all the advanced rails developers who have taken the time to read this but i am new to ruby and rails and i need some guidance. Hope the community can help -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
well, you haven''t even told us what kind of system you''re on. Try doing a search in the documentation for your system with the words ''create directory''. The command ''mkdir'' will probably be what you''re looking for. Mr Anon. wrote:> I am a newbie to ruby on rails. I am using the pragmatic programmers > agile development with rails book.

I have Ruby version 1.84 19 -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
he he.. well, I guess I didn''t give enough info, either. I was asking which OS you''re running: Windows, Linux, MacOS, ... The book is telling you to use the operating system to create a directory. You don''t need to use Ruby to do that. In Linux/unix, do ''mkdir dirname'' in a terminal. In Windows, create it using Explorer or do ''mkdir dirname'' in a console window.
