This book is here to give you the Shopify Platform Developer a leg up in your new (or old) adventure.

Setup

These steps assume you have a working installation of Ruby, bundler, git, and a C/C++ compiler like gcc.

1. Install bundled dependencies:

   $ bundle install

2. Install the trial version of Prince, an HTML to PDF generator. Check the Prince download page for the version for your operating system. Installation for OS X looks like this:

   $ curl --remote-name http://www.princexml.com/download/prince-8.0-macosx.tar.gz

   $ tar zxvf prince-8.0-macosx.tar.gz

   $ prince-8.0-macosx/install.sh

3. Clean up the install:

   $ rm -rf prince-8.0-macosx prince-8.0-macosx.tar.gz
