E-Commerce Application

This is a simple e-commerce application built with Ruby on Rails. It includes features such as product listing, user authentication, and full-text search capabilities.

Overview

This guide will walk you through setting up and running a Ruby on Rails application locally. We'll cover installation, database setup, running the server and testing.

Requirements

Before getting started, ensure you have the following installed:

• Ruby
• RubyGems
• Bundler
• Rails
• Database (e.g., SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL)

Installation

Follow these steps to set up the application locally:

1. Git clone and navigate to the Application Directory.

2. Install Dependencies:
