    copied!<p>I've followed the instructions in <a href="https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails3" rel="nofollow">https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails3</a> which is missing a lot of crucial information for Windows installs, but managed to get past most of my problems with Google searches.</p> <p>Here's what I've done:</p> <ol> <li>Installed Heroku Toolbelt</li> <li>Tried "heroku login" but ssh-keygen wasn't found so added C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin; to %PATH% -- was then able to generate key and log in</li> <li>Tried "rails new myapp" but got the error in the title of this thread (rails command not found)</li> <li>Tried "gem install rails" but the "gem" command also not found. Added C:\Program Files (x86)\Heroku\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Heroku\ruby-1.9.2\bin; to %PATH%.</li> <li>Tried "gem install rails" again. Command runs but hits error saying devkit not installed.</li> <li>Installed devkit and added C:\Program Files (x86)\Heroku\ruby-1.9.2\devkit;C:\Program Files (x86)\Heroku\ruby-1.9.2\devkit\bin; to %PATH%</li> <li>Finally "gem install rails" completes successfully</li> <li>Tried "rails new myapp" again but still get the error 'rails' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.</li> <li>Searched my entire C: drive for "rails.*" but no executable found anywhere. So, "gem install rails" completed with no errors but there's no "rails" executable anywhere on my system.</li> </ol> <p>Any help?</p> <p>PS - Please no "you typed xxx wrong" answers. I may have mistyped something in this question but I always triple-check that I'm typing commands with proper case and spelling. Also, I have been exiting and opening new command prompts to reload PATH.</p>
