Dev Instructions (for Mac)

1. Ensure brew is installed. The brew tool is a package manager for Mac that we will use to install the programming language ruby.

   If not, download ruby here: https://brew.sh

2. Install ruby

   brew install ruby

   The version of ruby you observe from running /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin/ruby -v should be greater than 2.5.

3. Change your PATH to include the ruby executable that was just installed (as opposed to the version of ruby that ships with OS X and is used by default) by replacing <Your username> in the following command and running it.

   echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> /Users/<Your username>/.bash_profile

4. Effectuate the change to your PATH by running the following (or you can alternatively just restart your shell).

   source ~/.bash_profile

   You can validate that your PATH was updated by running echo $PATH. You should see several paths demarcated from each other by colons ':'. Ensure that /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin (path to new ruby) shows up before /usr/bin/ (path to old ruby).

5. Run the following which will download the dependencies for this project (listed in Gemfile).

   bundle install

6. Launch the website.

   ./run.sh

   You can access the website by going to the URL displayed under the label "Server address" (probably http://127.0.0.1:4000/)
