Help an institution that helps other people. They got a lot of bills to pay and we got a lot of ideas to share.

Setup local environment

• MongoDB is required.

To run locally for development

• Start mongo server $ path/to/mongo/mongod;
• Run the application using shotgun $ shotgun;
• Go to localhost:9393;

To seed test data

• Run $ rake db:seed to create one single bill for testing
• Run $ rake db:seed[n] to create n bills
• $ rake -T will list all available tasks

If you want to deploy on the cloud

I'd recommend using AppFog

• Create an account on AppFog;
• Install Appfog gem af;
• Using your command line shell, go to directory where your forked billbo repository is;
• Login in your Appfog account running $ af login;
• Run $ af push [appname] --runtime ruby193 and follow the instructions to create the app;
• Once it's created, go to AppFog console and install the MongoLab Add-on;
• In the Services tab add a MongoDB service;
• Then run $ af update [appname] and make sure your app restarted;
• If you're allowed to push to the original repository (thoughtworks/billbo), deployment will be automatic after each push and can be checked on billbo.aws.af.cm;
