I’m a very new programmer and was reffered to Ruby from a friend.
I followed this great tutorial Getting Started - Learn to Program
and got up to chapter 3. Something stoped working when trying to
“gets” and know i get the following error messege for everything.

ruby is not recgonized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.

i got the same problem when trying to learn java.
