Because it wants you to succeed in BDD, cucumber will guide you through the process. From the project directory, type cucumber in the cmd prompt or terminal, which returns:

You don't have a 'features' directory.  Please create one to get started.

Create a features directory, and put your .feature file in it. Again, run cucumber, which returns pending step definitions that map to your feature file. As an example:

You can implement step definitions for undefined steps with these snippets:

Given /^I want to use cucumber$/ do
  pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had
end

Now--as @siekfried indicates--create a directory called features/step_definitions for your step definition files, which should end with _steps (e.g. example_steps.rb). Then, edit your step definition file with the appropriate code to execute the step.
