To bring Concerto V2 back to life on a modern Ubuntu boxen:

1. Install ruby 2.6.10. I'm using rbenv, but you can use whatever you like. Ruby 2.7 will not work, per #1577.
2. sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libmysqlclient-dev libpq-dev libmagickwand-dev

How To Start Developing [work in progress]

1. Clone or fork a copy of the source code using git from https://github.com/concerto/concerto/.
2. Run bundle install.
   • One of the packages we use is ImageMagick. We recommend you install this first, as it takes a while to install. You can find the info here: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php.
   • If you are using a Mac, we recommend using MacPorts. You can find the info here: http://www.macports.org/install.php and run the command: sudo port install ImageMagick.
3. Create a config/database.yml. You can cp config/database.yml.sqlite config/database.yml to use the sample SQLite one.
4. Run rake db:setup.
5. Run foreman start to start the background services.
6. Setup your webserver, or run rails s to launch the built in one.
   • If you're on a Mac, we recommend using the Pow webserver. See the website here: http://pow.cx/ or the short screencast here: http://get.pow.cx/media/screencast.mov
7. Start developing!
8. Write tests, make commits, submit pull requests.
