Developing Calagator

Prerequisites

Before you start, you will need to:

  • Install git, a distributed version control system. Read the GitHub "Set Up Git" article to learn how to use git.

    Some additional resources for familiarizing yourself with git:

  • Install Ruby, a programming language. You can use MRI Ruby 2.0+, or Rubinius 2.0+. Your operating system may already have it installed or offer it as a pre-built package. You can check by typing ruby -v in your shell or console.

  • Install SQLite3, a database engine. Your operating system may already have it installed or offer it as a pre-built package. You can check by typing sqlite3 -version in your shell or console.

Getting Started

  1. Get the source code: From your command line, run git clone https://github.com/calagator/calagator.git, which will create a calagator directory with the source code. Change into this directory (cd calagator) and run the remaining commands from there.

  2. Install Bundler-managed gems, (the actual libraries that this application uses, like Ruby on Rails) by running bundle install. This may take a long time to complete.

  3. Generate a dummy host application. This is a new Rails application that includes Calagator from your current checkout of the code and is used for running tests:

     bundle exec bin/calagator new spec/dummy --dummy

  4. Initialize your database by running:

     bundle exec rake app:db:migrate app:db:test:prepare

    If you like, you can also generate some sample data with

     bundle exec rake app:db:seed

  5. At this point, you should be set up to run Calagator's test suite:

     bundle exec rspec

  6. You're now ready to start up Calagator in development mode, which automatically reloads code as you change it:

     bundle exec spec/dummy/bin/rails server

    If all went according to plan, you should be able to access your running Calagator at: http://localhost:3000.

    To stop the server, press CTRL-C.

    If you're running calagator in a Vagrantbox, add -b 0.0.0.0 to the bundle exec command to handle requests from the host OS:

    bundle exec spec/dummy/bin/rails server -b 0.0.0.0
