Run the following commands to create schema and tables:

If you wish to run test locally, be sure to run rails db:migrate RAILS_ENV=test as well. If you encountered errors when running cucumber tests, try running rspec tests first before cucumber tests. Please run tests on Mac OS or Linux, as PhantomJS gem does not support Windows. 8. Run rails server, and check with a browser at http://localhost:3000. It might take a bit longer to render if it’s the first time you run
