Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

$ ./guard    # keeps an eye on test fails and rubocop warnings

External / api dependencies

If you were to set up a meroku clone for your personal use, you would need

  • A secret ( a 12 charactor hex string )
  • An s3 bucket with the name $secret
  • Your Ec2 default security group should allow all traffic
  • An elastic ip allocation. Usually has a name like "eipalloc-..."
  • A free certificate for your domain from letsencrypt
  • You would also need a wildcard certificate so that consumer apps work without warnings in https:// mode
