Set up

Install rbenv: https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv#installation

Once installed, cd to the app directory. Then run:

rbenv install 2.3.1
rbenv local 2.3.1

Which sets the version of ruby for this folder to 2.3.1

Install rails:

gem install rails

Then run bundler:

bundle install

Ensure the output of rails -v is 5+

rails -v
=> Rails 5.1.3

Then setup the app for the first time:

rails db:create
rails db:migrate

Install foreman:

gem install foreman

Run the application with foreman:

foreman start -f Procfile.dev

This will run all of the various processes needed for the app (redis etc)

Navigate to localhost:3000
