I cloned the repo [GitHub - dmonopoly/jdmedia: Media site for JDHS](http://github.com/dmonopoly/jdmedia) with  
git clone git://github.com/dmonopoly/jdmedia.git  
and got the app and everything. It’s an app in Rails 3, if that  
matters.

Anyway, after “cd jdmedia” I find that the app doesn’t work, when I’m  
sure the app should.  
for example, typing rails -v or any rake command brings up this error:

undefined method `[]’ for nil:NilClass

For the rails -v command, I get this:

The rails -v command works in other apps I have on my machine…so  
what is going on?  
Thanks in advance.
