Setup

Adapted from this article

1. Create a new project directory, e.g. C:\projects
2. Open up command prompt as administrator, and initialize vagrant from project directory:

cd /projects
vagrant init hashicorp/precise32

3. Open that Vagrantfile in a text editor and uncomment/modify the following lines

config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 3000, host: 3000 # Default Rails port
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 27017, host: 27017 # Default Mongodb port

And add the following lines to enable symbolic links:

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
  v.customize ["setextradata", :id, "VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/v-root", "1"]
end

4. In your command window run vagrant up and vagrant ssh

5. Install git from git-scm, following these instructions if unsure which options to choose. You must install unix utilities with git to complete later installations.

6. Install & start mongodb following instructions at mongodb

7. Install RVM & Ruby following instructions at rvm.io. If you cannot run curl on your command line, you probably didn't install unix utilities with git. You could just install cygwin instead now.

8. Install Node and NPM from Nodejs following this tutorial if necessary.

9. Clone project:

cd /vagrant
git clone https://github.com/zooniverse/scribeAPI.git
cd scribeAPI

10. Setup gems and modules:

bundle
npm install

11. Setup your project (replace 'PROJECT_KEY' with the name of your project e.g. 'emigrant')

rake project:load['PROJECT_KEY']

12. Run the server: rails s, and go to http://localhost:3000 in your browser
