Go to the directory

cd pageonex

Setup a database and then edit the config/database.yml file to give the app access to that database (we use MySQL).

Install the gems

bundle install

Run the migration (this will create the database with its tables):

rake db:migrate

Create a PageOneX admin user like this:

rails console
User.create(:username=>'admin-user',:email=>'admin-user@admin.admin',:password=>'hola1234',:password_confirmation=>'hola1234')
me = User.first
me.admin = true
me.save

Load the list of newspapers into the data base:

rake scraping:update_media

Run the server:

rails server

You can now navigate the app at http://localhost:3000/ or http://0.0.0.0:3000/

Options

If you have problems with the dependencies of the gems check this tricks.

Problems with dependencies

Run the same commands with 'bundle exec' like

bundle exec rake db:migrate

If you have problems with the pg gem, needed for the "heroku" version, you can run:

bundle install --without heroku
