A community based site for Mendicant University. For more information about the site, check out its about page.

Community is a Ruby on Rails 3.1 application which runs on Ruby 1.9.2+ and PostgreSQL databases. Other databases like MySQL or SQLite are not officially supported.

To install a development version of Community, follow these steps:

1. Fork our GitHub repository: http://github.com/mendicant-university/community
2. Clone the fork to your computer
3. If you don't already have bundler installed, get it by running gem install bundler
4. Run bundle install to install all of the project's dependencies
5. Finally, run rake setup to create the required config files, create the database, and seed it with data

To make things even easier, you can copy and paste this into your terminal once you've got the project cloned to your computer

gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec rake setup
