How do I start this?

by

Here's a total noob question, so please brace yourself?

If found this open source application, https://github.com/kandanapp/kandan , which I'd like to take a look at to learn more about Rails. However, I do not know how to actually boot it. Any suggestions? I've installed railsinstaller for ruby 1.9 already.

PS: Rails and Ruby on Rails are the same thing right? Just so I'm not tricking myself...

  1. Hi, first of all you are correct in that rails and ruby on rails are the same thing. We are just lazy and shorten the name 😛

    Also without looking at the application in great detail it should be a case of installing ruby, installing the bundler gem, then installing the rest of the dependencies with **bundle install**. After that you should be able to run **rails server** to start the application. You could then access it from http://localhost:3000 on a Web browser. This is all assuming you are using a Unix based system I have no idea how to do this in Windows as I don’t develop on Windows.
