I messed up. I was trying to manually change a user’s password, and ended up installing ruby-railties instead. I need someone more experienced than me to tell me if I should just leave it alone, or if it’s a big problem and I should try to uninstall it, and point me at some instructions if possible. Here are the specifics:
WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO IN TERMINAL:
```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c
u = User.find_by_email('email@test.com')
u.password='XXXXXXXXX'
u.save!
ctrl+d to exit
```
WHAT I ACTUALLY DID IN TERMINAL:
```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher <-- LEFT OFF THE "ENTER APP" COMMAND
rails c
```
Response at that point was “Command ‘rails’ not found, but can be installed with: apt install ruby-railties” So then I entered “apt install ruby-railties” and installed the app.
Any advice? Discourse seems to be working fine.

You should be just fine. You installed `ruby-railties` on the host operating system. Doing so won’t impact your Discourse install, though it may cause confusion in the future if you forget `enter app` again, as you might end up opening a rails console on the host, rather than in docker.
`apt remove ruby-railties` is safe to run - just make sure you’re not in the docker container.
