  Typically when you install rails for the first time, you'll install it via the gem package manager. To do this, you'll type: gem install rails Which creates a binary file "rails" that does all the railsey magic. This assumes that a certain percentage of those will accidentally type: gem install rials Which also creates a binary file, which is also called "rails". The difference after browsing the github repo (http://github.com/okay/Rials/blob/master/lib/rials.rb http://github.com/okay/Rials/blob/master/lib/rials.rb), is that this version of "rails" runs a lovely program which rickrolls the user. Edit: Got it running on my linux box after cloning the repo. Here's a screenshot if it in it's full glory: http://jjcm.org:8081/rials.png http://jjcm.org:8081/rials.png Yes, it does actually play the video in ascii goodness from within your terminal.
