<p>Follow these steps to get Mephisto up and running like a pro!</p>
<br />
<p><strong>Note:</strong> We are targeting the Rails 2.0 release series for Mephisto 1.0. Therefore, if you are using gem rails (most hosting environments do),
you will need to freeze edge rails: <code>rake rails:freeze:edge</code></p>
<br />
<p>You can visit the <a href="http://mephistoblog.com/docs/setup">Mephisto install documentation</a> on the site to get the most recent content,
however for the impatient, here's the quick setup guide:</p>
<br />
<ol style="padding-left:35px">
<li>Create a database named mephisto (or one of your choosing).</li>
<li>Copy config/database.example.yml to config/database.yml</li>
<li>Edit database.yml and set your database credentials.</li>
<li>Upload the entire mephisto directory to your webserver.</li>
<li>Make sure you upload the tzinfo gem (see above) with the directory, or that your host has it preinstalled.</li>
<li>Run rake db:bootstrap from a terminal of some sorts (use rake db:bootstrap <span class="caps">RAILS</span>_ENV=production to be sure you’ve bootstrapped the production database.)</li>
<li>Login to your administration at http://domain.com/admin with the username: admin and password: test</li>
</ol>
