This repository contains all of the code that runs on worldcubeassociation.org.

• Clone this repo! (And navigate into it)

  git clone https://github.com/thewca/worldcubeassociation.org
  cd worldcubeassociation.org
  

• Ensure you have the correct Ruby version installed. We recommend using a Ruby version manager like rvm or rbenv. They should both read the .ruby-version file to use the correct version (rvm current or rbenv version to confirm).
• Ensure Bundler 2 is installed
  • To update from bundler 1:

    gem update --system
    bundle update --bundler
    

  • Or, if you haven't installed bundler previously:

    gem update --system
    gem install bundler
    

• Set up git pre-commit hook. Optional, but very useful.

  (cd WcaOnRails; bundle install && bin/yarn && bundle exec overcommit --install)

  If some changes are made to this hook, you will have to update it running this command from the repository's root directory: BUNDLE_GEMFILE=WcaOnRails/Gemfile bundle exec overcommit --sign.

• Install either MySQL 5.6 or 5.7, and set it up with a user with username "root" with an empty password. If it poses problems, try the following:

  # Then run MySQL CLI as administrator and set an empty password for the root user:
  sudo mysql -u root
  ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '';
