search for: erbdemo

Hi, I am working thru the Ruby for rails book. On page 30 David Black talks about running erb from the command line i.e. $ erb erbdemo.rb just as you would a normal ruby prog ($ ruby erbdemo.rb) but when I try to do this I get command not found. How do I make this work? I am running Linux (Ubuntu Breezy) Regards, Paul
