Description: The 'rails' command creates a new Rails application with a default directory structure and configuration at the path you specify. Example: rails ~/Code/Ruby/weblog This generates a skeletal Rails installation in ~/Code/Ruby/weblog. See the README in the newly created application to get going. WARNING: Only specify --without-gems if you did not use gems to install Rails. Your application will expect to find activerecord, actionpack, and actionmailer directories in the vendor directory. A popular way to track the bleeding edge of Rails development is to checkout from source control directly to the vendor directory. See http://dev.rubyonrails.org/
