how to insert image in rails

Using Rails, I am creating my first web-site. And I have a problem like this: I can't insert an image in my page (index.html.erb).

I put an image named "main.png" in directory "app/assets/images", and wrote that: 

<img src="main.png">

But my image isn't displayed correctly. What I'm doing not right?

You should use Rails helpers as markets pointed out.

By the way, the name of the image file should be the same you use as the parameter of image_tag method. You are referencing your image as main.png when the image file is main.jpg

<%= image_tag "main.jpg" %>

You should use the provided helpers by Rails to "automagically" detect paths, fingerprints, ...:

<%= image_tag "main.png" %>

Anyway, I recommend you to read the asset pipeline guides to understand how the assets works in Rails: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html
