-bash: rails: command not found

Question

I have installed RVM and and Ruby 1.9.3 . But when I do rails c, I get this error

-bash: rails: command not found

I had done bundle install from my Rails app, and it was successful. But when i do gem list, I get this

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

bundler (1.3.5)
rubygems-update (2.1.3)
rvm (1.11.3.8)

What could be wrong?

Try to make ruby 1.9.3 as default for rvm and then repeat bundle install. You probably installed rails under other ruby version... — Yevgeniy Anfilofyev

@Casper, I did not run gem install rails. But when I ran bundle install, it installed all the gems from my Gemfile, including rails. But none of them are visible when i do gem list — Santhosh

Bundler and gem list are not connected to each other necessarily. Bundler can install gems into an application specific folder, which is not always the system folder (where gem list gets its information from). You need to have rails in the system gem folder. But if you don't want that then just run script/rails instead. — Casper

You can try enable the option "run command as a login shell" in your terminal profile.

You might want to explain how to do this in your answer

If you are using linux, open your terminal (for example: $ gnome-terminal). Click in Edit -> Profile Preferences. Check the option "run command as a login shell"

You may remove the gemfile.lock file before running bundle install Or run bundle update.
