Installation and Setup

Install locally

These instructions are for Mac.

1. Install RVM. This is needed because Mac comes with Ruby 1.8 and you'll need 1.9.
2. Setup a Postgres database (instructions?)
3. If you have credentials for your Postgres, update config/database.yml as needed.
4. Install gems: bundle install
5. Setup database: bundle exec rake db:create; bundle exec rake db:schema:load
6. Seed the data: bundle exec rake db:seed
7. Run the server: rails server

Deploying to Heroku

1. Create a heroku app (change app name as needed): heroku apps:create otc-adoptahydrant
2. Set up a DB: heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql
3. Push the code and deply the application: git push heroku master
4. Set up the db: heroku run rake db:create; heroku run rake db:schema:load
5. Seed the data: heroku run rake db:seed
6. Go to application: http://otc-adoptahydrant.herokuapp.com

Rails Admin

The data seeding (see below) will create an admin user. Make sure to log into the application with the default credentials:

[email protected]
CHANGE.ME

And CHANGE THE PASSWORD. Do note that this may not be the best way to make a new admin user, so suggestions are welcome.

The admin dashboard is located at /admin on your server.

Development

Javascript Development

Still a work in progress.

• Configuration values should go in: app/assets/javascripts/main.conf.js.erb
• Main application logic in: app/assets/javascripts/main.js
