###Development Environment Setup

CodeMontage currently uses Ruby on Rails version 3.2.13 and Postgres 9.2.2.

To get started,

• Install Rails. We recommend Rails Installer.
• Install Postgres. We recommend Postgres App. (If you're using Mac OS X Lion, you may need this fix for Postgres.)
• In your application directory, run rake secret > secret_token to create a secret token for your local environment. This file is specific to your machine and will be ignored by git.
• Configure the app for your local database by copying database.yml.sample to database.yml and making any changes needed for your database setup (possibly rake db:create).
• Once your database is created, run rake db:migrate.
• Load helpful example data into your local database by running rake db:seed.
• If you'll be developing around Github login or registration, register your own Github Oauth Application for development and set your environment variables when you start your server. e.g. GITHUB_KEY=your_key GITHUB_SECRET=your_secret rails server

Once you've installed these dependencies, test your setup by running rails server and visiting your site at http://localhost:3000

Congratulations, you're ready to help build CodeMontage!
