Since this book is targeted for Rails developers, I assume that you already have basic knowledge of Rails development. You should also have Rails and Ruby installed in your machine to start with.
Note
While writing this book, Ruby 2.1.1 and Rails 4.1.4 was used.

TODO:rails new TODOThis command will execute a series of various other commands that are necessary to create a Rails application. So, just wait for sometime before it stops executing all the codes. If you are using a newer version of Rails, then this command will also execute
bundle installcommand at the end. Bundle install command is used to install other dependencies.
