Students are receiving this error when initially setting up codenvy:

I would suggest a paragraph or two about how to fix it (if there is one, I'm stumped) Or a link to instructions to set up the environment locally.

There is an error that students have been frequently encountering when trying to link their Github accounts as in Step 3 of account-setup.md.

The error arises when students try to run the following command:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/university-bootcamp/coding-environment/cloud-ide-instructions/github_auth.rb > ~/.bootcamp-github.rb && ruby ~/.bootcamp-github.rb

This is what the error message looks like:

So far, I have been sending students the following fix, which has been working successfully:

Try the following steps:

1. Run the command gem install github_api in your terminal.
2. Once the install finishes, run touch .bootcamp-github.rb.
3. That command should have made an empty file called .bootcamp-github.rb. Find this file and open it in your text editor. It should be a hidden file inside of the coding-environment folder. If you press Command + Shift + . on a Mac you can view hidden files in the Finder.
4. Then, copy and paste the following into the empty .bootcamp-github.rb file:

require 'github_api'
require 'io/console'

# Bypass annoying deprecation warning between the
# github_api gem and the faraday gem
Faraday::Builder = Faraday::RackBuilder

print "Github Username: "
user_name = gets.strip
print "Github Password (nothing will be displayed):"
password  = STDIN.noecho(&:gets).strip
github = Github.new(:login => user_name, :password => password)
github.users.keys.create("title" => "FirehoseVagrant", 
    "key"=> File.open("/home/vagrant/.ssh/id_rsa.pub").read)
puts "\nok!"

5. Once you do that, save the .bootcamp-github.rb file. In your terminal, run ruby .bootcamp-github.rb.

Is there any way this or another (possibly more elegant) fix can be incorporated into the instructions?

Students are facing timeout issues when following the heroku login in the Accound Setup MD

Adding an option for heroku login --interactive will allow students to login through the command line without having the heroku cli open up a browswer window.

Based on the tutorial's verbiage, it appears the screenshot should be the "Yay! You're on Rails!" image.
