[Rails] Re: New to Rails

Hi there!

The $ signs represent the prompt - you do not enter them. It is the equivalent of showing something like c:\> in windows - the generally accepted way to designate 'this is a shell command'. So:

$ rails new myapp

Is telling you to type "rails new myapp" - no $ sign.

rails server doesn't have any input - you run it, and it shows you the log. There is nothing to type into it.

Why are $ signs shown on lines to input? Windows does not understand them.
I think I have got a error running Rails Server as it hangs in the command prompt screen and won't accept any typed commands.

I am a PHP programmer at the moment and I find this extreamely difficult to understand.  The instructions are not clear, they assume that the user understands what is going on, which is not always the case.

I comparison WAMP was a dodle to install.

Can someone advise where I go from here?
