New to Ruby Need some help

I am quite new to ruby on rails so bare with me.

I just got an interesting repository from github and I have been trying
diligently to get this app to work. This seems like a general error to
me but I do not understand how to fix it.

If some one could help I would definately appreciate it

Thanks.

There are much, much better ways to learn Rails than finding interesting
GitHub
projects. GitHub contains many jewels, and it is also nothing but a big
backup
server. Don’t expect every project there to be fully productized!

For example, when I tried “magic_the_gathering”, I could not get past
this:

$ rake db:migrate:reset

undefined method `files’ for ImportCards:Module

Now notice that all the files have the same times stamp, I suspect from
last
year, and all the files have only one version, so maybe we are looking
at
something that someone got working on their own desktop (with a stray
‘files’
field in their database!) and then tossed onto GitHub and never got back
to!

Ask the author if she or he wants to return to this project…
