Install

The following instructions will help you to install the Rails part of LinuxFr.org on a Debian box.

1. First install some Debian packages:

   aptitude install mysql-server mysql-client libmysql++-dev

   aptitude install build-essential openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev

   aptitude install curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev

2. Configure the database:

   mysql -p -u root

   > CREATE DATABASE linuxfr_rails; > GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON linuxfr_rails.* TO "linuxfr_rails"@"localhost"; > QUIT; (return to user)

   Statistics need time zone at SQL level. You'll need to population time_zone* tables.

   mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -p -u root mysql

3. Install RVM (more details on https://rvm.io/rvm/install ):

   $ curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash

   And follow the instructions.

4. Install Ruby with RVM:

   $ rvm install 2.0.0 $ rvm use --default 2.0.0

5. Clone the repository, configure and install gems:

   $ git clone git://github.com/nono/linuxfr.org.git $ cd linuxfr.org $ cp config/database.yml{.sample,} $ cp config/secret.yml{.sample,} $ gem install bundler rake $ bundle install

6. Finish to configure:

   $ desi install $ desi start $ rake db:setup (if you're updating, you'll need an other step: redis-cli flushdb) $ ./script/rails r '[Diary, News, Page, Poll, Post, Tracker, WikiPage].each {|m| m.tire.index.refresh }'

7. Let's run it:

   $ ./script/rails server thin $ x-www-browser http://127.0.0.1:3000/

How to run the specs

1. Be sure that redis and ElasticSearch are running

2. Create the test database:

   $ bundle exec rake db:test:prepare

   $ bundle exec rspec spec

How to generate a CSS

CSS are written in sass and compiled with the Rails assets pipeline. If you just want to compile a CSS without installing Rails and all its dependency, you can install the sass gem and launch:

./script/compile_sass app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss > app.css
