The Air Quality Egg dashboard is a Ruby, Sinatra app that provides the web UI for the Air Quality Egg website.

Development

Prerequisites

• A working Ruby environment. The app should work in all common flavours of ruby (1.8.7, 1.9.2, 1.9.3, Rubinius, jruby)

Add environment variables to .env file

# Sample .env file
PRODUCT_ID=xxxxxx # get this by logging into Xively.com and creating a product batch (Manage > Add Product Batch)
API_KEY=xxxxxxx # get this by logging into Xively.com and creating a master key (Settings > Master Keys > Add Master Key

The values in this file are required to interact with Xively, but some value for each environment variable is required to boot the app locally, so initially just create the file with dummy contents. Note that this means your local app won't be able to actually interact with Xively, but you will be able to view the AQE site running locally.
