Bare with me here as I am very new to all of this.

I’m trying to write a simple script with the SSH gem and when I run it  
in the terminal I get this message.

./ssh\_restart.rb:3:in `require’: no such file to load – net/ssh  
(LoadError)

Here is the code:

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require ‘net/ssh’

Net::SSH.start(‘10.0.1.200’, ‘Administrator’, ‘pw’) do |ssh|  
Dir.foreach(’.’) do |file|  
puts file  
end  
end

What am I doing wrong?
