server

First steps

1. Install and configure PostgreSQL 9.1+
2. Run postgres -V to see if you already have it.
3. Make sure that the server's messages language is English; this is required by the ActiveRecord Postgres adapter.
4. Install libxml2, g++, and make.
5. Install rvm
6. Clone the project
7. Cd project folder and install Ruby 1.9.3 as rvm suggests.
8. Install Bundler
9. Copy config/database.yml.sample to config/database.yml. Edit the file to point to your postgres instance.
10. Create the "moodkick" user

Before you start Rails

1. bundle install
2. bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate db:test:prepare db:seed
3. Try running tests: bundle exec rake
4. bundle exec rails server

You should now be able to connect to rails on http://localhost:3000
