Installation

1. Prerequisites on Ubuntu

• Git
• curl
• postgresql (9.1)
• postgresql-contrib (9.1)
• build-essentials
• libxml2-dev
• libxslt1-dev
• libpq-dev
• nodejs
• phantomjs - Refer to poltergeist Github page for installation instructions.

2. Ensure that you have a working Ruby running on your machine, ideally setup via chruby. For chruby/Ruby setup instructions,

   Ubuntu

    wget -O chruby-0.3.8.tar.gz https://github.com/postmodern/chruby/archive/v0.3.8.tar.gz
    tar -xzvf chruby-0.3.8.tar.gz
    cd chruby-0.3.8/
    sudo make install
   

   Mac:

    brew install chruby
   

For more information on how to setup chruby and Ruby, please refer to chruby setup guide.

3. Clone this repository

   git clone git://github.com/mohangk/fastrego.git

4. Install the required gems

   bundle install

5. Create a config/database.yml from config/database.yml.sample and make changes to config/database.yml to reflect your local postgres authorization setup.

   cp config/database.yml.sample config/database.yml

6. Setup the database.

   rake db:create

   rake fastrego:add_hstore

    If you get the following error:
      PG::UndefinedFile: ERROR:  could not open extension control file "/usr/share/postgresql/9.3/extension/hstore.control": No such file or directory : CREATE EXTENSION hstore
   
    Try running this first because it might not be installed on your system:
      sudo apt-get install postgresql-contrib-x.x (please change x.x to the version of postgres that you're running. This can be checked by doing 'SELECT VERSION();" in psql)
   

   rake db:schema:load

   rake db:seed

7. Start the app

   rails s

Frequently Asked Questions

1. I'm having some problem getting specs up and running. It is complaining about uninitliazed constants. What do I do?

   Try including the following lines before 'Dir[Rails....].each { |f| require f }'

   require Rails.root.join("spec/support/page.rb") require Rails.root.join('spec/support/pages/admin_page.rb')

   This is because a different OS might have a different way of handling this and page.rb/admin_page.rb is a pre-requisite for some of the files.
