Install the prereq mysql library:
yum install mysql-devel
Install dashing with gems (requires 1.9+ ruby):
gem install dashing
gem install mysql
You will also need to install node.js. I installed it from the Linux binaries tarball using the command:
tar xzvf <nodejs.tar.gz> --strip-components=1 -C /usr/local
The HCC dashboard requires access to the HCC database to retrive college and
department information for users. A file named db.yml is required to be in
the root dashboard directory with information to connect to the DB:
rcfmysql_username: user
rcfmysql_pass: password
rcfmysql_host: host
rcfmysql_db: database
