I followed a tutorial on [lynda.com](http://lynda.com) to build Hello World app on  
Windows.

I got an error msg as follow when I loaded  
[http://localhost:3000/say/hello](http://localhost:3000/say/hello)

## MissingSourceFile in SayController#hello no such file to load – sqlite3

I went to download sqlite3 but don’t know where to install sqlite3.  
Can someone help please?

Thanks!

That’s a generic error for missing gems. DO this,

gem install sqlite3-ruby

or

sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby

I don’t get it. Is it a code I put it somewhere? Help again!

If I am missing gems, how do I install it?
