This is a student work belonging to a web technology course at HTW Berlin. We built a web app, that enables people to share knowledge about locations where one can put his/her hammock :-) It is a Ruby on Rails project, which uses sqlite2 as a database (on heroku we switched to postgresql), Bootstrap 3 for the frontend and openstreetmap for map rendering.

• Ruby Version: 2.5.1
• Rails Version >=5.2.1
• SQLite3
• ImageMagick
• (PostgreSQL in Production)

Make sure Ruby and Rails is installed on your system. Fire command prompt and run command:

  ruby -v
  rails -v

If you see Ruby and Rails version then you are good to start, otherwise setup Ruby On Rails (use rvm for managing different ruby versions -- see below)

• install rvm, Ruby und Rails

  \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
  rvm get master
  rvm install "ruby-2.5.1"
  

  • on cygwin you might need to make the cygwin installer accessible via the PATH variable via PATH=/your/path:$PATH

• Use the newly installed Ruby:

  rvm use 2.5.1 
  

• Check this worked correctly:

  ruby -v
  which ruby
  

• install Bundler and Rails

  gem update --system
  gem install bundler
  gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries
  gem install rails
  

  Hint: the above nokogiri command needs system libraries / cygwin (libxml2-dev, libxslt-dev, zlib, sqlite3, libcrypt-devel, libsqlite3-devel, libgmp-devel, make and others) in order to run. You can try just gem install nokogiri instead.

• install Image Magick

  (depends on your platform)

  see http://im.snibgo.com/cygwin.htm for installation under Cygwin (Windows)

• check Image Magick Installation

  convert --help
  

• install PostgreSql (for deployment)

  (Installation depends on your platform.)

  Hint: For rails it is important that you have the devel libraries installed and pg_config can be found via your PATH. You may need to install libpq-devel or libpq-dev or similar. If pg_config cannot be found, you can then run

  bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/Path/To/Your/pg_config 
  

  After that, gem install pg should give no errors.

Below are the setups to run Ruby on Rails application on your system.

2. clone Git repository

   git clone [email protected]:Sinnaj94/HaengemattenApp.git

3. setup and run project

• Install all dependencies

  bundle install
  

• Create db and migrate schema

rake db:create rake db:migrate

    rails db:schema:load
    rails db:seed

(oder:)

    rake db:reset db:migrate db:seed

• Now run your application

  rails s

It seems, that CRLF line endings (Windows) cause problems with shebangs in ruby files. Please make sure you only commit LF line endings (let Git convert them). See: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration#Formatting-and-Whitespace and https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/. There is also a .gitattributes settings file in place.
