Now that all has been set-up and is working, you should be able to create empty apps which is merely defining the application using rails which automatically creates all the necessary directories that are needed. Open a command prompt window and go to the directory where it was installed and proceed into the rails_apps directory. Type in ‘rails filename’ and rails creates all the necessary directories you would be needing for the development process. Don�t get freaked out when you see the multitude of directories for they will be filled out by “RAILS” and not by you manually. The next post will discuss some of the nuances of those dizzying directories to take some of the fog over them out.
