"We have no nation, no philosophy, no ideology. We go where we're needed, chucking not for country, not for government, but for ourselves. We need no reason to chuck. We chuck because we are needed. We will be the deterrent for those with no other recourse. We are chuckers without borders, our purpose defined by the era we live in."
― Big Boss

- Install RVM:
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash - When you cd into the chuckpad-social directory, you may be prompted to install the right version of Ruby. Do so if needed. Example:
rvm install ruby-2.5.1 - If you just installed a new version of Ruby, you'll likely need to get the bundler gem first:
gem install bundle - Install the rest of the gems:
ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" bundle installIf you are getting errors running this, try runningxcode-select --installas this has cleared up issues for other people. - Install Postgres and create the database if you have not yet. On the command-line, run
psqland thenCREATE DATABASE "chuckpad-social"; - Run
bundle exec rake db:migrateto run all migrations on the database. - Run the service locally:
bundle exec rerun 'rackup -p 9292'. - Locally visit localhost:9292. If you see connection errors when you visit this page, you need to lanuch the Postgres app! As files are changed the rerun gem will automatically reload the app.

If you deploy your own instance of chuckpad-social on Heroku, you'll need to set a few config variables to get everything working nicely.
- RACK_COOKIE_SECRET - random string used to ensure integrity of cookie data when logging in on web
- RACK_ENV - should be
productionorstage - SENDGRID_API_KEY - API key from the Sendgrid service which is used to send confirmation and password reset emails
- EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS - Email address shown on emails sent via Sendgrid (e.g. welcome@test.app)
- EMAIL_FROM_NAME - Name shown on emails sent via Sendgrid (e.g. ChuckPad Mailer)
These are automatically set by Heroku and can be left alone:
- DATABASE_URL - database URL that you can use to connect directly to the database (format of URL is postgres://user:password@host:port/database)
- LANG
- Add SPF record to avoid Gmail's "message is authenticated" warning
- Publish config/env.rb to Heroku with
rake config_env:heroku[chuckpad-social] - You need a
config/env.rbfile to get cookies and email sending working properly locally.
