Note: All steps were performed using Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS.
a) Install MySQL and setup using these commands, make sure the password you select is easy to remember
$ sudo apt install mysql-server
$ sudo mysql_secure_installation
or
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server
for my case, I found the second one easy as while installation I get an interface in terminal asking for a password and could diminish some step for secure_installation which I feel a very annoying step Note: After this setup, you should be able to run MySQL using this command, if not then try some of these issue links
$ mysql -u root -p
(In case you get the wrong password, do sudo su, then mysql create a new user with password and use that)
If you face error 1698https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39281594/error-1698-28000-access-denied-for-user-rootlocalhost
if you face error 1045https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21944936/error-1045-28000-access-denied-for-user-rootlocalhost-using-password-y
b) Installing RubyOnRails using rvm (ruby version manager) First, install curl and gnupg
$ sudo apt install curl
$ sudo apt install gnupg2
Now, run these commands to install rvm
curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg2 --import -
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
Important: For RVM to work properly, you have to check the 'Run command as login shell' checkbox on the Title and Command tab of the terminal's Edit ▸ Profile Preferences menu dialog, in case the menu is missing right-click the terminal app and navigate Profiles ▸ Profile
Now, we will be using rails 5.2.2 with ruby 2.6.1
$ rvm install 2.6.1
$ rvm use 2.6.1 --default
$ gem install bundler
$ gem install rails -v 5.2.2
Install mysql gem and the libmysql-dev library
$ sudo apt install libmysqld-dev
$ gem install mysql2
Note: For some of the js gems
$ sudo apt install nodejs
- Clone the Repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/gaurav-chaurasia/Online-Auction
- Change directory into the folder named Online-Auction
- Install all the gems
$ bundle install
- Make migrations, Seed data into the database and Run the test server
$ rake db:migrate
$ rake db:seed
$ rails server
-
The above steps starts the development server on localhost:3000. Go to
http://localhost:3000/in your browser. It will automatically redirect you to the Home page and then ask for Signup or Login. -
