How to build Chinwag

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

Install RVM along with Ruby 1.9.3.

$ \curl -#L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --autolibs=3 --ruby=1.9.3

Add the following to your ~/.bash_profile to add Ruby to your PATH.

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # This loads RVM into a shell session

Install SproutCore: This is the easy part.
