title: how do i verify if rails is installed correctly
body: <p>I am using Michael Hartl's rails tutorial to learn rails; I am a beginner.I am in the process of setting up the IDE. I am not 100% sure if I have installed rails and ruby gems correctly. </p>
  
  <p>Can anyone suggest how to verify this before I move on to trying the actual coding? I believe git and ruby v2 are installed ok based on typing in <code>git -v</code> and <code>ruby -v</code></p>
  
  <p>However, when I type in <code>rails --version</code>, I get a  message that differs from what's in the tutorial. I can pm a printscreen of what I'm seeing; help would be appreciated as I do not want to give up.</p>
