There was no PATH in the output. However, I followed the steps in
Jaxxa’s response, created a user variable PATH, and that seems to have
sorted things!

Awesome to hear!

For some reason the installer was not adding the environment variable
for your user, which is weird since you executed as normal user and not
elevated.

I’m creating a ticket to update our wiki with instructions for this
scenario, so the knowledge obtained and shared by Joshua (jaxxa) is
accessible.

Thank you all so much. Ian, you are right - typing “irb” first brought
up the prompt as you described and then “puts 1+2” returned “3” !!!

I’ll send a note to the publisher of this “Learn to Program” book. They
should totally have that in there.

Wow I shouldn’t be this happy about programming on a friday night but
you guys are AWESOME. Thank you so much.

Fully agree, had the same issue. Thanks for posting the question & to
those who answered, yay!:slight_smile:
