Ruby-on-rails – Rails keeps telling me that it’s not currently installed

rubyruby-on-railsrvmzsh

I use rvm to manage different rubies and their gemsets. My shell is zsh with oh-my-zsh configured with basic settings. Enabled oh-my-zsh plugins are ruby, rails, osx, and git. Here's the command I used to install ruby-1.8.7 and rails-3.0.7.

rvm install 1.8.7
rvm use 1.8.7
gem install rails -v=3.0.7

and then I typed rails and got:

Rails is not currently installed on this system. To get the latest version, simply type:

    $ sudo gem install rails

You can then rerun your "rails" command.

I've tried more thorough installs also, Like reinstall rubygems after switching to ruby-1.8.7, or create a completely new gemset, but with no luck.

Here's the rvm info:

ruby-1.8.7-p352@rails:

    RUBYOPT:      ""

and the gem version is 1.8.10, the latest.

Best Answer

If you're running a rails command immediately after installing rails, you will need to restart your terminal before your commands will be recognized.
