Clone the repo:
$ git clone git@github.com:beechnut/textbus.git
$ cd textbus
We assume you've installed Ruby and RVM already.
Install the dependencies
$ bundle install
Then run the app with Foreman! Foreman lets you run multiple proceses concurrently.
$ foreman start
If you see errors that certain things aren't writable, just mkdir
to make the folders it's trying to write to.
$ mkdir tmp
$ mkdir tmp/pids
$ mkdir log
(If you're wondering why all the hassle, it's because we're using a dev environment very similar to our intended production environment, which is a unicorn server being run by Foreman.)
Once all the mkdirs are in place, it should be running.
