This is a small server written in Ruby using Sinatra and hosted on Heroku.

It just serves up a static JSON file with some dummy properties to test the accompanying property-search-sample iPhone application.

The server is deployed and available on Heroku.

http://rmit-property-search.heroku.com/search

The server takes an optional query parameter, which doesn't actually do a search, it just returns whatever you searched for as the suburb of each property.

If you're using RVM, it should automatically pick up the Ruby version and create a new gemset when you enter the directory on the command line.

If bundler isn't installed:

gem install bundler

bundle

Install Ruby and RubyGems if you haven't already. Navigate to the server project directory and:

gem install sinatra

To run the server locally, just run rackup in the project directory, which should make the server available on http://localhost:9292/search
