After you have installed rails, the next step is to create a Rails project directory and generate the files needed to generate the framework of your web database application. You must first decide on a name for your Rails project and the project directory that it is located in.
For this Rails web database application the project name, "myapp" was chosen and the directory for the Rails project was chosen to be C:\Users\mark.c.stansberry
After opening up the "Start Command Prompt" window on your windows desktop, you must execute the command "rails new myapp" at the file directory location. For this example, the command below was entered in at the command line prompt to generate the Rails web database framework for the myapp application
C:\Users\mark.c.stansberry>rails new myapp
After pressing enter on the keyboard, the command line editor displays the commands it executes in order to construct the myapp web database application framework.

run bundle install
Most of the commands that are executed when the rails new myapp command is entered are used to create files and associated directory locations to store those files for the framework. These include configuration files, test, library, and database files.
The last command that is executed is the "run bundle install" command. The bundle command is used continually for the build and rebuilding of your web framework application.
