LIVE DEMO

Mac OSX Prerequisites

1. Make sure xcode is up to date.

   xcode-select --install
   

2. Install Homebrew

    ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
   

3. This project uses Ruby 2.3.3, which is best installed through rbenv.

   brew install rbenv
   

   brew install ruby-build
   

   rbenv install 2.3.3
   rbenv global 2.3.3
   

   ⚠️ If you see an error when trying to install Ruby, something along the lines of:

   ERROR: Ruby install aborted due to missing extensions Try the following line to install Ruby 2.3.3

   RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl" rbenv install 2.3.3
   

   At this point, you want to restart your terminal to ensure everything takes effect.

4. Install RSpec for testing

   gem install rspec
   

   Restart terminal again.

   ⚠️ Important note: You should NEVER need to sudo gem install ___ anything. If you get a permission issue, that means your system isn't using the rbenv/rvm version of rubygems.

5. Install Postgres Database

   brew install postgres
   

6. Create a physical postgresql database

   initdb /usr/local/var/postgres
   

   You can start and stop the database with the following commands. These are nice to create as an alias within your .bash_profile

   pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start
   pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop
