hi everybody,

I’m new to radiant and to rails.

I’ve got a problem with :

‘script/server -e production’  
I get a :‘script’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,  
operable program or batch file.

I don’t know what I’ve done wrong ☹

thank you very much for your help

On Windows you will need to run:

ruby script/server -e production

Are you on Windows? If yes, try

ruby script\server -e production

This is a “new to Linux” problem.  
Check your path.

You should be at the top of the rails directory tree

$ pwd  
/home/anton/Ruby/Radiant  
$ ls  
app/ CHANGELOG CONTRIBUTORS lib/ public/ script/ vendor/  
bin/ components/ db/ LICENSE Rakefile test/  
cache/ config/ doc/ log/ README tmp/

so when you run the ruby command you specify the full or the relative  
path

```
ruby ./script/server -e production

```

or  
ruby /home/anton/Ruby/Radiant/script/server -e production

As I said, this is not a rail or ruby problem. You need to learn the  
basics  
of the command line shell.
