The Courseware of the Future!

This is the courseware for Nashville Software School.

Setup Instructions

1. Copy config/application.yml.example to config/application.yml
2. Copy config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml
3. Fill in the correct Github API key and a valid Github access token (see below)
4. rake db:create:all
5. rake db:migrate
6. Copy a valid github_access_token from a local User (e.g. from logging in on localhost, then inspecting the user in the rails console) and save it as GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN in application.yml.
7. rake
8. Confirm that rake passed. If it didn't, that means your setup is missing something.
