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)[https://git-scm.com/download/win], following (these instructions)[https://hackernoon.com/install-git-on-windows-9acf2a1944f0] 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)[https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/]

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

8. Install Node and NPM from (Nodejs)[http://nodejs.org/] following (this tutorial)[https://blog.teamtreehouse.com/install-node-js-npm-windows] 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
