Setting Up

To get started you will need to check this project out.

git clone git@github.com:rubyforcats/find_my_cat.git

Rails Environment variables

We use the dotenv-rails gem as a shim to load environment variables from .env into ENV in development. You will need to copy .env-example to .env. This is where you will store you environment variables required by your application. E.g. oauth client details.

Next you will need to copy secrets.example.yml to secrets.yml. Then you will need to generate a development secret_key_base you can do this with the following.

rake secret

Then copy the output into the development secret_key_base value. For example:

development:
  secret_key_base: 57bc8db6b8f4777ed0cc3dde97da343417c25b550ece556985d49682703e8c8590dcc336b850c59c0e1a35f78abcad36547e46c574810a87866c7de9823ff854

Bower

We are using Bower to manage our Rails assets. To assist in this we use the bower-rails gem, which adds, "Bundler-like DSL and rake tasks, for Bower on Rails".

You may require nodejs, but I can't remember... To install Bootstrap-sass using Bower run the following:

rake bower:install
