```
rails new TODO
```
This command will execute a series of various other commands that are necessary to create a Rails application. So, just wait for sometime before it stops executing all the codes. If you are using a newer version of Rails, then this command will also execute bundle install command at the end. Bundle install command is used to install other dependencies.
