Getting Started¶ ↑

DMPOnline is a Ruby on Rails application. Further details on how to install Ruby on Rails applications are available from rubyonrails.org

After downloading, create a config/database.yml file based on the provided config/database_example.yml file. Currently only MySQL databases are supported.

Edit the configuration files at config/environments to include your contact email addresses.

Edit the configuration setting config.action_mailer.default_url_options in config/application.rb

Edit values for config.mailer_sender and config.pepper in config/initializers/devise.rb

Set a secret token in config/initializers/secret_token.rb

You’ll need to install gems, build the database and then start the server:

$> bundle install
$> rake db:setup
$> rails server

The database seed data will give you three users:

admin@example.com

Full system admin user

organisation@example.com

A dummy organisation admin user

user@example.com

A normal end user

The password for each of these is ‘password’
