I’m trying to follow this tutorial here:  
[http://railstutorial.org/chapters/static-pages#top](http://railstutorial.org/chapters/static-pages#top)

When I run:

$ rails generate rspec:install

I get:

Could not find generator rspec:install.

What could be the problem?

Thanks.

Since I’m using Rails 3.0.0.0.rc, I got it solved by doing the  
following:

$ gem install rspec-rails --pre

And, in Gemfile:

gem “rspec-rails”, “\>= 2.0.0.beta.17”

The steps were from: [GitHub - rspec/rspec-rails: RSpec for Rails 5+](http://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails)
