Prerequisites

toolchain- Ruby, Rails, Node

• Ruby Version Manager (RVM) allows selection of which Ruby release to use.
• gem installs a single Ruby library

curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
rvm use 2.7.1
gem install rails

ruby -v should output ruby 2.7.1 rails -v should output at least version 6

• NVM allows selection of which Node release to use.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
source ~/.profile #activates path for current profile
nvm install --lts

node -v should output at least version 14

Running- Backend

Open a terminal and from the project directory run:

• bundle is used to install Ruby libraries inside Gemfile

cd backend
bundle
rails db:setup # Creates our database, runs migrations, seeds data into it.
rails server -p 5000 # Starts our backend API on port 5000

Running- Fontend

Leave the first terminal running, and open a new one. Again starting from base directory.

cd frontend
npm install # Installs node packages
npm run

Usage

• App should now be running at http://localhost:3000/
• A test user has been provided. email: test@test.com password: Testpass
• Visual polish could use... some work.
