It's a convention in many tutorials to show you the dollar sign as an
example of your shell prompt. It just means "as a regular user, type
this", as opposed to a # prompt, meaning you have to su to root first.
Don't type either character if you see them at the beginning of a
sample shell command line.

Newbie here,
Following this tutorial that says: $ rails new blog.
I type it into the shell window and get this: '$' is not recognized as
an internal or external command.
What's up with that?
