Hi,

I just installed Locomotive on my mac os x.  Afterwards, I opened 
Terminal and typed:  ruby ~v   to find it and it appeared.  Yea! Then, 
when trying to do the same with rails, it was not found.

In a search for a fix, I found a post online which suggested having 
textmate open rails from within it so I tried this and Voila!  my rails 
appeared to install,  BUT it installed in the wrong place.   I need to 
move my whole rails install into the correct folder and it is not 
letting me do that via the cp command in terminal.  Every time I try to 
do a cp and paste in the old location to modify it, terminal starts 
running code before I even hit the "enter" button.

I would like to just start over.  So far, I have not installed gems.  Is 
it advisable to try to move the Locomotive app and folders to the trash 
and run the install again?

Also, if mysql is already on my computer, do I need to reinstall that 
after the RoR reinstall?

thank you,
Holly
