Ruby on Rails Real Newbie Question

[wellgolly]

I know nothing about Ruby on Rails, I have read everything to get started but I don't seem to be getting it. Below is what I have to do and I am wondering if this can all be done in my Cpanel using Ruby on Rails and Ruby Gems. I'm sorry but I am the type of person that gets nothing out of reading, I have to do this first hand to get it if that makes sense. The script for the below says I should be done in 15 minutes with this and here it is 3 weeks later and I still am not getting this.

Getting started
Here’s how to get rolling:
Use script/generate to create your models and controllers
To see all available options, run it without parameters.

Set up a default route and remove or rename this file
Routes are set up in config/routes.rb.

Create your database
Run rake db:migrate to create your database. If you're not using SQLite (the default), edit config/database.yml with your username and password.

If you don't get anything out of reading you may enjoy Railscasts.com.

A tip: it's much easier and faster to do this on your local computer and then upload to cpanel.
