Setup

Base Install - OS X

0. Install Brew
   • ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
1. On a mac (Lion+ ?), you must have the Xcode Command Line Tools installed. Install this if you haven't already.
2. Start by installing git, and creating a github account if you don't have one already
   • brew install git
   • Follow the [instructions] (http://help.github.com/set-up-git-redirect) to setup your github account with an ssh key
3. We will be using RVM (Ruby Version Manager) to manage our ruby versions and gemsets.
   • Install [RVM] (https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/) using curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable, and then run source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
   • After installation, open your .bashrc (probably using open ~/.bashrc) and add this line to it:

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm ``` * Install Ruby 1.9.3 with rvm install 1.9.3 * And set this version as the default `rvm 1.9.3 --default`

Base Install - Windows

(totally untested steps at the moment..)

0. Download & install the windows RailsInstaller*
1. Follow the same steps as above to set up git for yourself, if you haven't already (RailsInstaller installed it for you)
2. After forking & cloning this project, see if you can cd into the project directory & successfully run bundle install

If not, that means my suspicions about the ruby/rails version packaged in RailsInstaller are probably correct and we should talk about ways to fix it.

Working with this project

To develop your own ConnectFour app, you should start by forking this repo.
