With it, a program called Bundler can make sure that your machine has all of the requirements installed. This is the de facto way in Ruby to make sure that a machine is set up correctly to run a given program and Rails takes advantage of it to install some commonly-used gems. For more information, visit [Bundler's homepage](http://gembundler.com/). + TIP: You can see all of the command line options that the Rails application builder accepts by running `rails new -h`. |
