While RSpec may also be used for unit or integration tests, its download count is quite impressive. As a comparison, the most-downloaded Cucumber v3.1.2 is merely 8.8 million.

Need help regarding ruby install on Mac
pry and rspec are gems. You had at least 3 rubies (system, rbenv, rvm), and each ruby puts its gems in a different folder. Your rspec might be in a folder for rbenv's ruby. If you switched to rvm's ruby, then bundle exec rspec would fail because rvm's ruby can't find rbenv's gems.

Faker Gem
To begin using faker, you need to install the gem, which is simply done by running "gem install faker". After you do that, you should add "gem "faker"" to your gem file to ensure correct usage, otherwise you may get an error. Once thats done you can head over to the seeding file and add require "faker" the page. In the seeding file is where you would start to "fake" your data and we use the faker library to pick out random dummy data. In the seeding, your gonna start implementing the data which should look like this,
