I've just installed Ruby on Rails, and am ready to start running through tutorials, but when I type
heather#heather-laptop:~/RubyProjects$ rails demo
I get

Description:
The 'rails new' command creates a new Rails application with a default
directory structure and configuration at the path you specify.
Example:
rails new ~/Code/Ruby/weblog
This generates a skeletal Rails installation in ~/Code/Ruby/weblog.
See the README in the newly created application to get going.
Am I doing this properly? Do I need to add a flag?
You need to use new... exactly what the output says...
rails new [Application Name]
Usage:
rails new APP_PATH [options]
As the above output says, you missed the new.

How to rectify this issue? Please give some ideas on why this issue occurs.
Issue is you running this wrong directory e.g project creating command
rails new project_name
Then
cd project_name
Then run for bundle, rake, & server
rails s
or
rails server
I created a new app in desktop/maps.
I haven't linked it to github or anything and am just working locally.
I have previously used the rails s function and it worked perfectly however now that I want to pickup where i left off it now says:

Please note i am in the correct directory and I've have previously run the started the server.
Which directory are you in? Running rails server will return the syntax banner you pasted unless the file config.ru is in the same directory.
If you're using Rails 4+, regenerate your app's bin/ directory executables:
rake rails:update:bin
These are versioned like any other source code, rather than stubs that are generated on demand with bundler. Using the regenerated executable should solve the problem.
I have been trying to access or at least show my server in my Rails by running the command rails s or rails server and it does not work:
At first it told me I had to install new gems and to run the command bundle install to upgrade them and I did. It installed everything "correctly".
Now instead, I just get some usage help instead of Rails (for example commands I can use). I thought that Rails was out but I run the command rails new myApp and it does create me one and the bundle installs ok. I just want to start my app and try localhost:port, and that to open my app.
It happens the same when I try to generate something, for example rails g model OneModel (or generate instead of g) and for anything I want to generate. It seems it isn't understanding my commands.
I am noob new to ubuntu and far beyond that new to Rails and ruby. If you can help me I'd be so glad. Here's the output I get:

You have to run rails s from the project root directory.
eg, If you create a rails application, say rails new my_app, it will create a skeleton application my_app in the current directory. Now you have to cd to that directory to start the server
No matter what command I run I get the following output. My path seems to be correct. I have no idea what is going on. I just added ruby-1.9.3-p448 to rvm but I think this problem started when I upgraded to OS X 10.9. Please help:

f-me is right:
SOLUTION: I had a legacy .slugignore file which included "script"...hence the non-working-ed-ness.
