• If running on local machine: install ruby and rubygems (This step can be skipped on Cloud9 IDE.)

• We will be resizing images using the image manipulation program ImageMagick, which we need to install on the development environment. When using Heroku for deployment ImageMagick comes pre-installed in production.

$ sudo yum install -y ImageMagick

• Install the Rails (Version 5.1.4)

$ gem install rails -v 5.1.4

• To get started with the app, clone the repo from GitHub (private repository, access should be given)

$ git clone clone [email protected]:zalanfarkas/sam-server.git 

• Then install the needed gems:

$ bundle install --without production

• Next, migrate the database:

$ rails db:migrate

• If you are testing the system

$ rails db:seed

• Finally, run the test suite to verify that everything is working correctly:

$ rails test

• If the test suite passes, you'll be ready to run the app in a local server:

$ rails server
