Installation is easy; to install, clone the project, create databases referenced in config/database.yml, update global variables in /config/application.rb, install dependencies with bundle install, and prepare the database with rake db:create and rake db:migrate. Run rails server to start the project with the development environment.
In production, you may want to configure an ActionMailer gateway. For development and test environments, config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors is set to false.
Assuming you have created a test database, run specs by using rake test.
