An application allowing users to upload photos, like or dislike photos, and tag each other in them
-
This application was built on Ruby 2.4.1 on Rails 5.1.4, using PostgreSQL as a database server. If you have these or equivalent versions installed, you're ready to install this repository:
-
If you need to install Ruby and/or Rails, I recommend a version manager. Apple users, don't use the pre-installed version of Ruby. Check out https://github.com/postmodern/chruby, great start-up documentation, and a great ruby version manager and installer. Use the instructions to install with Homebrew (https://brew.sh/).
-
These setup instructions assume the use of PostgreSQL as a SQL server (https://www.postgresql.org/). You can use any SQL server, such as mySQL, but these instructions only support Postgres, and I have not tested on other SQL servers.
