Spree is a complete open source commerce solution for Ruby on Rails. It was originally developed by Sean Schofield and is now maintained by a dedicated core team. You can find out more about by visiting the Spree e-commerce project page.

Spree actually consists of several different gems, each of which are maintained in a single repository and documented in a single set of online documentation. By requiring the Spree gem you automatically require all of the necessary dependency gems. Those gems are as follows:

spree_api spree_auth spree_core spree_dash spree_promo spree_sample

All of the gems are designed to work together to provide a fully functional e-commerce platform. It is also possible, however, to use only the pieces you are interested in. So for example, you could use just the barebones spree_core gem and perhaps combine it with your own custom authorization scheme instead of using spree_auth.

Clone the git repo

git clone -b 0-60-stable git://github.com/spree/spree.git

cd spree

Install the gem dependencies

bundle install

Create a sandbox rails application for testing purposes (and automatically perform all necessary database setup)

bundle exec rake sandbox

cd sandbox

Install the gem dependencies supported for sandbox

bundle install

Now you just need to create new database

bundle exec rake db:create

Then use the install generator to do the basic setup (Copies all migrations and assets)

bundle exec rake spree:install

Now you just need to run the new migrations, and setup some basic data

bundle exec rake db:migrate

bundle exec rake db:seed

Now just loads sample data into the store

bundle exec rake db:sample

Crux is the extension of spree CMS. It is mandatory that Spree has to be installed in the system. Crux enables separate On-Line store will be created for paid registered users. Three kind of users with roles named as Super-Admin, Admin, and Normal User. Super Admin is the one who has ability to manage the domain. Store owners can register And start their own store. Each store will operate as a unique business and will have a custom domain name and branding. Store owner can act as admin for his domain and he can set his Personalised configurations for his shop.
