ConNextor is a web platform to gather bright minds, spawn creativity and build projects. (add in more!!)

You need the following installed, preferably on a Linux system. The versions are what is used during core development, use other versions at your own risk.

• Ruby, version 2.1.5
• PostgreSQL, version 9.3.5

See docs/ for stripped-down guides to install them.

git clone https://github.com/tlulu/ConNextor.git   # Clone this repository
cd ConNextor/                                      # Go to working directory
bundle install                                     # Installs the correct gems
rake db:migrate                                    # Import the database
rake db:seed                                       # Seed the database
rake test                                          # Run test suites
rails server                                       # Start the server

See the config/ folder to see configuration details and make changes as you need. database.yml is not version controlled, so configure it to local environment.

Need some keys for OmniAuth. (will add later)

• Frontend
• Sass with Compass, which compiles to CSS3 (with Rails Asset Pipeline); Helps produce more readable and dynamic code, and Compass helps align the frontend to modern design patterns
• Bootstrap libraries for styling and formatting; Robust, small and has critical components for mobile support
• JavaScript, with libraries including jQuery; Powerful with a multitude of functionalities for interactive elements
• Backend
• Ruby on Rails, see gem versions in Gemfile; Stable MVC framework that is easy to start because of Rails generators, and has a large community to support it
• OmniAuth from Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn; Widely used for better security and easy login
• Operating System
• Unix-based system; Ease of development

See docs/ folder for more documentation on style, and installation of prerequisites.
