[Rails] Newbie: Can't install plugins

Hi,

I am totally new to Rails and am working in Windows (7 days from
installing and haven't programmed for 20 years prior to that!).

I've been learning from various books, and have been trying to install
plugins for the first time.

I understand that many of them have now moved to Github, so the code in
the books I'm reading often doesn't work.

I think I have Git installed, but am not sure whether I need to do some
further configuration or what "in the path means". If I type "git
--version" in one of my project directories, it says "git version
1.7.0.2.msysgit.0".

I tried: "rails script/plugin install
git://github.com/ambethia/recaptcha.git" and got the response: "exists";
"create app/controllers"; "file exists - script/plugin".

BUT my plugins directory in vendors remains empty.

What am I doing wrong?! Am I looking in the right place for the plugin?
What do I need to do to get my first plugin to work?

Thanks,

Jonathan.
