How to fix 'command rails not found' in ubuntu wsl - zsh

I am using Ubuntu on windows with wsl.
I installed zsh, it works after installation but after closing the terminal and trying to run commands like rails c it would have an error telling me
"Command 'rails' not found, but can be installed"
I have rails already installed and I have a temporary fix for this problem.
If i run exec bash then exec zsh again zsh would work as expected.
The problem occurs every time I open the terminal. How do i fix this?

how can I check if Leiningen is successfully installed and working at full capacity?

Java JDK is installed, everything works great, also maven works great.
I followed the instructions from the site, downloaded the bat file, set the path and at the command prompt started the installation with the command lein self-install.
what i got in response is downloading leiningen now ....
after a while, C: \ windows \ system32> appeared below that line and it stays that way for several hours.
What more should I do?
The command line normally uses a prompt like > or similar to indicate it is waiting for a command. Then you type something followed by the <return> key:
> lein --version
Leiningen 2.9.8 on Java 1.8.0_322 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM
>
Here I typed lein --version, then <ret>, and the computer responded with a 1-liner about the version of Leiningen and Java that are installed. Then it displayed the prompt again, waiting for the next command.
You can use the cd (change directory) command to move around. With no prompt it will send you back to your "home" directory. See docs for the BASH or ZSH shell.
For Windows, I highly recommend installing the BASH Shell and git from this site:
https://gitforwindows.org/
IMHO the bash shell is greatly superior to the built-in Windows shell from CMD.EXE

After restart ZSH cannot find NPM, Gulp or Bower

Context
Earlier this week, while my computer was starting Ubuntu 17.10 it shutoff due to low battery.
The Problem
Upon plugging in and rebooting I noticed some unusual behavior. One of the key things was that Oh My ZSH appears to be broken. Meaning, when I opened Terminal, pressed the up arrow to cycle through my history, and hit enter to execute the command: it reported it could not find my ZSH history log and failed to execute the command.
What I've Tried
So I assumed that ZSH was corrupted as a consequence of the improper shut down. So I reinstalled and the history error disappeared. But then it couldn't find NPM, Gulp or Bower. Meaning, when I executed something like gulp watch it reports zsh: command not found: gulp.
So I attempted to reinstall gulp with NPM and it reported the same error but for NPM.
I concluded that they were still installed and not corrupted but that ZSH simply can't find them.
So I tried a random command to export "paths" from a bash file to my ZSH file (I think they're called .rc files but I don't remember).
Then it seems to work.
Then I closed Terminal and it stopped working.
So I reinstalled ZSH again, this time using apt-get and it worked without having to export my paths.
Then I restarted (properly) and discovered it's broken again.
The Question
Can anyone explain why this is happening and how to resolve it?
short answer: add path in your ~/.zshrc
tl;dr
find executable path for your libraries or programs and add them
nano ~/.zshrc
export PATH=/path/to/lib/or/bin:$PATH
then save the file (ctl+o)
after this restart your zsh or reload the rc file (source ~/.zshrc)

Getting a terminal error in Atom.io

I am getting a error in the terminal when I am running the 'Gem Dependencies'.
I am not sure how to fix this issue.
This the terminal error.
Thanks.
Remove the $ in front of your console input:
gem install compass modular-scale sass
If the error is not created by you typing this command into the PowerShell, you should contact the Atom crew.

Brackets shell not running node commands

I have just installed the Brackets Shell extension (Mac OSX 10.9) and can run normal shell commands (ls, pwd), but not node commands (bower install, npm install). I get 'command not found'. Any suggestions?
Currently the brackets shell extension has a bug in that it is not reading your profile path environment. This is why you are receiving "command not found" in the console.
I'll be releasing an update to the shell extension this coming weekend (10/4/2014) which should resolve your issues.
