Having issues creating mystore app

[Isaac Barnes]

I have rails installed and the spree gem. I can run the default app
with default data, but when I try to run spree mystore I get command
unknown. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Ok let me see if I can explain this better. I was looking for a solid
commerce solution and I stumbled upon Spree. I already had rails
installed on my mac so I figured I will just follow the 'Getting
Started'
instructions on the spree website under documentation.

So I skipped step one which is "gem install rails" then I completed
step two successfully "gem install spree". The next step is to run
"spree mystore"
this is where my terminal spits out "-bash spree command not found".

I figured maybe the gem did not install correctly so I tried "gem list
spree" and
terminal returned "spree 8". So it looks like the gem is installed. Is
it true
that all I should have to do is run " spree 'appname' " in terminal
and
it will create a new app?

Has anyone else experienced this?

Ikeb, if you're doing this on a Mac then chances are that you installed
the gem into your local directory rather than the system gem library. As
a consequence of this the spree command was not installed because your
account doesn't have sufficient permissions to do so. Reinstall the gem
using the sudo command to get proper installation of everything.

sudo gem install spree

The sudo command will prompt for a password, *your* password.

I agree with what Dan said. Try that.

Thanks guys that worked. I wasn't aware of this. Sean you should add
a
note on the guides so you don't get this question again from mac
users .
