The code is okay but you are in the wrong directory. You must run these commands inside your rails project-directory.

The normal way to get there from scratch is:

$ rails new PROJECT_NAME
$ cd PROJECT_NAME
$ rails generate model ad \
    name:string \ 
    description:text \
    price:decimal \
    seller_id:integer \
    email:string img_url:string

You need to create new rails application first  Run  rails new mebay cd mebay bundle install rails generate model       And try to find Rails 3 tutorial  there are a lot of changes since 2 1 Guides  http   guides rubyonrails org getting started html  are good start point

The error shows you either didn t create the rails project yet or you re not in the rails project directory   Suppose if you re working on myapp project  You ve to  move to that project directory on your command line and then generate the model  Here are some steps you can refer   Example  Assuming you didn t create the Rails app yet     gt  rails new myapp   gt  cd myapp   Now  generate the model from your commandline      gt  rails generate model your model name

For me what happened was that I generated the app with rails new rails new chapter 2 but the RVM --default had rails 4 0 2 gem  but my chapter 2 project use a new  gemset with rails 3 2 16   So when I ran   rails generate scaffold User name string email string   the console showed   Usage     rails new APP PATH  options    So I fixed the RVM and the gemset with the rails 3 2 16 gem   and then generated the app again  then I executed   rails generate scaffold User name string email string   and it worked
