using github for windows can't start rails server after pulling a repo

Question

I added some collaborators to a rails project on github. They pull down the project using github for windows but then cannot start the rails server

rails server gives them the same output as typing rails

When we do ls we get:

From the Github directory I tried chmod -R 777 sindika but it didn't work. Why can't they pull down the project and start the server?

Seems like the version of your globally installed rails gem is different from the one the project is built on, so Rails don't recognize this folder as its project. Doing bundle && bundle exec rails s should do the trick. Another way to solve this would be to uninstall the current version of the Rails gem and install the one that corresponds to your project.
