Any reason you're using `backtics` around your string? If you're just trying to print to console, use 'single' or "double" quotes. If you're trying to execute an external command, then that command needs to be installed. Try it like this to just print to console: > puts 'bundle install' #using single quotes When I use backtics on my linux machine, this lists the contents of the current working directory: > puts `ls` #using backtics indicates system command Hope this helps, Alex > **···** > > On Tue, 2010-06-08 at 13:50 -0500, Santhosh Kattissery wrote: > > > I have the following line in my code: > > puts `bundle install` > > > > This gives me the following error: > > C:/../\.rb:11:in ``': Exec format error - bundle install > > (Errno::ENOEXEC) > > > > Im using a windows machine.

Thanks for you reply. And yes, I am trying to execute a command. puts `ls`, works for me. install bundle works for me from command line. But I want to execute it from ruby code. I did not understand "then that command needs to be installed" Alex S. wrote: > **···** > > > (Apologies if this is a dupe...

Which version of ruby are you using? You may need to run something like: puts `bundle.bat install` HTH Gordon > **···** > > On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 2:53 PM, Santhosh Kattissery \ wrote: > > > Thanks for you reply. > > And yes, I am trying to execute a command. > > puts `ls`, works for me. > > install bundle works for me from command line. > > But I want to execute it from ruby code. ---

Hi Alex I am facing similar issue and I do have $PATH variable setup in the windows. Basically, it happens, when I run cucumber features on culerity gem. Error is: (:🙂 failed steps (:🙂 Exec format error - C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/culerity-0.2.10/lib/../bin/run\_celerity\_server.rb (Errno::ENOEXEC) The only line in run\_celerity\_server.rb I could see is: #!/usr/bin/env jruby require File.dirname(\_\_FILE\_\_) \<\< '/../lib/culerity/celerity\_server' Culerity::CelerityServer.new(STDIN, STDOUT) Thanks in advance. -Gourav Alex Stahl wrote: > **···** > > > Do you have the path to the executable listed in your $PATH environment > > variable? > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/\](http://www.ruby-forum.com/%5C). ---
