For google authentication, you need to set up the corresponding key, secret, callback url etc. The application loads these informations from the file config/app_config.yml The sample configuration is available at config/app_config.yml.example (You can simply copy this file to app_config.yml to run Fluxday without google authentication).

cp config/app_config.yml.example config/app_config.yml

Modify the database credentials in config/database.yml . Now you can create the database and perform migrations

rake db:create
rake db:migrate

Fluxday will populate the database with an admin user entry when we run the seed.

rake db:seed

You can start the Rails server using

rails server
