Installation and getting started

To run this locally you'll need PostgreSQL and Ruby on Rails properly installed and set-up. If that's your case the following sequence of commands may help you install this project:

git clone https://github.com/frederico-miranda/odin-fakebook/
cd 'odin-fakebook'
bundle install
rails db:setup

In order for the facebook login integration to work, you'd need to setup the environment variables ADD_ID and APP_SECRET with the valid credentials of a facebook app (You can create one with a facebook developer account). You could then run the server like this:

APP_ID=<YOUR APP ID> APP_SECRET=<YOUR APP SECRET> rails s
