OLD setup

This site uses Sinatra framework to run the Ruby code. To get started on a Linux or OS X box:

Pre-requisites

• Rbenv
• Ruby 2.2.2 or higher
• Bundler
• The code

Step 1: Install rbenv

Installation instructions for rbenv

git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv

Step 2: Install Ruby 2.2.2

rbenv install 2.2.2

Step 3: Install Bundler

Bundler helps manage Ruby dependencies effectively.

gem install bundler

Step 4: Get the code

Clone the GitHub code into a folder of your choice.

git clone https://github.com/DFID/devtracker-from-api.git

Step 5: Install the Ruby dependencies

This will pick up the Ruby dependencies from our Gemfile.
