To install a development instance locally clone this repository. Then:
> bundle install
> brew install imagemagick(assuming you are on a Mac. If you are on Linux, it will likely be bundled in your distro. This is required as the image handler gem, Paperclip, uses ImageMagick technology. It is only needed for running locally. Remote deployment on Heroku includes it on their dynos. For more information on Paperclip requirements see https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/paperclip/#requirements.)
