I am just getting started on a new radiant site. I generated it via the  
radiant shell command (v0.9.1 gem). I would like to use devise as the  
authentication mechanism for the site. I came across a wiki page  
explaining  
how to do it:

> **[Using Devise as an authentication system for Radiant end users](https://github.com/radiant/radiant/wiki/Using-Devise-as-an-authentication-system-for-Radiant-end-users)**
>
> Radiant is a no-fluff, open source content management system designed for small teams. - radiant/radiant

The wiki page calls for following the devise instructions for gem  
installation and then generator usage for creating a custom user model  
(along with other instructions for setup). My problem is that I can’t  
seem  
to access the devise\_install generator (or any other generator that  
isn’t  
included with radiant). When I run script/generate, I see:

Installed Generators  
Builtin: extension, extension\_controller, extension\_mailer,  
extension\_migration, extension\_model, instance, language\_extension

None of either the Rails generators or generators provided by gems I  
have  
installed in my environment are visible to me. Is there some step I  
need to  
do to be able to see non-radiant generators?

Thanks in advance,
