bin/rails giving error that 'bin' is not recognized as internal

I am a beginner trying to learn and do the Ruby on Rails tutorials (http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html#installing-rails)

and for all the bin commands in the command window such as $ bin/rails --version or $ bin/rails server

I am getting the error " 'bin' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'

I just installed the latest version of Ruby so I've tried running rake rails:update:bin

and I also added the PATH variable C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby1.9.3\bin to my environment variables.

I'm still getting the same error.

Thank you in advance!

You are getting those errors because you are on Windows. In this case you have to pass the scripts under the bin folder directly to the Ruby interpreter like this:

ruby bin\rails server

If you have added the bin directory to your PATH variable, then you don't need to use it in the command. Just type $ rails --version, etc.
