Setup ruby

In case you don't have the version of ruby that the TheOdinProject uses, install it with rvm:

$ rvm install ruby-2.0.0-p353
$ rvm use ruby-2.0.0-p353

Bundler

If you needed to install the ruby version specified previously, then you're going to need to install bundler all over again, run the following commands for that:

$ sudo apt-get install bundler
$ gem install bundler
$ gem install bundle

Setup postgres

Skip this is you have already installed and setup a user for postgresql. First, we add the repository and then install postgresql and it's dependencies:

$ sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ precise-pgdg main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list"
$ wget --quiet -O - http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install postgresql-common
$ sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3 libpq-dev

Next we need to create our role, run the following:

$ sudo -u postgres createuser yourusername -s
$ sudo -i -u postgres psql
# Check that the user was created with:
postgres=# \du
# If you want to add a password to the role you created, run:
postgres=# \password yourusername
# Type \q to quit

Gems

Okay, first we need to install some dependencies that the gem capybara-webkit has and then install the actual gem(we also install the postgres gem here):

$ sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-core libqt4-gui
$ gem install pg -v '0.17.1'
$ gem install capybara-webkit -v '1.1.1'

Now we need to pull down TOP's repository. To do this, go ahead an fork TOP repository. On your terminal run:

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/theodinproject.git
# Once git finishes cloning, cd into the project directory with
cd theodinproject

With all that taken care of, run bundle and everything should be green.

$ bundle install

Once bundle finishes, go to config/database.yml and write your username and password(only if you added a password) of postgresql for the development and the test database(leave the production alone), next we create and migrate the database:

$ rake db:create
$ rake db:migrate

Get the server up and running with:

$ rails s

Go to your browser and voila!
