A Word on Funding

I know it's a silly project, but it does cost me money to run. If you have enjoyed using the site please consider buying me a cup of coffee.

Developers: If you have any issues with MyBikeLane Toronto, please add an issue on GitHub or fork the project and send a pull request.

Development

Developed with Ruby 2 or higher. You'll want to get Ruby on your system using RVM, RBenv, what-have-you.

As a requirement for image uploading to work, you'll need ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick command-line tool installed. You can check if you have it installed by running

$ convert -version
Version: ImageMagick 6.8.9-7 Q16 x86_64 2014-09-11 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2014 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: DPC Modules
Delegates: bzlib fftw freetype jng jpeg lcms ltdl lzma png tiff xml zlib

If you don't have it, it's pretty easy to install on Linux. Mac users can use Homebrew:

brew install imagemagick

Install all the dependencies for the app by running Bundler's install command. (run gem install bundle first if bundle doesn't exist in your PATH)

bundle install --without staging production

Once this succeeds, bootstrap the Rails app database (development uses SQLite3):

First define your development database configuation (create the file config/database.yml):

development:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/development.sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

Note: You must NOT have an environment variable called DATABASE_URL, as it will confuse Rails. Then bootstrap it with the seed data and schema:

bundle exec rake db:setup

Ok! You're ready to start developing. Start the server by invoking:

bundle exec rails server

For more specifics, read up on the Ruby on Rails 3.2.21 documentation

Special Thanks

My thanks to Greg Whalin for founding MyBikeLane and maintaining it for so long.
