### Getting Started
New to Ruby? No worries!
First things first, you'll need to install Ruby 2.0. I recommend using the excellent [rbenv](https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv),
and [ruby-build](https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build)
```bash
rbenv install 2.0.0-p353
rbenv global 2.0.0-p353
```
Next, you'll need to make sure that you have postgres installed. This can be
done easily using [Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) or by using [http://postgresapp.com](http://postgresapp.com).
```bash
brew install postgres phantomjs
```
Please see these [further instructions for installing postgres via homebrew](http://www.mikeball.us/blog/setting-up-postgres-with-homebrew/).
Now, let's install the gems from the `Gemfile` ("Gems" are synonymous with libraries in other
languages).
```bash
gem install bundler && rbenv rehash
bundle install
```
Once all the gems are installed, we'll need to create the databases and
tables. Rails makes this easy through the use of "Rake" tasks.
```bash
bundle exec rake db:create:all
bundle exec rake db:migrate
```
And we can also add some sample data with the **seed** task
```bash
bundle exec rake db:seed
```
If you are working on anything related to the email-generation code, you can use [mailcatcher](https://github.com/sj26/mailcatcher)
Since we use bundler, please read the [following](https://github.com/sj26/mailcatcher#bundler) before using mailcatcher
Almost there! Now all we have to do is start up the Rails server and point
our browser to <http://localhost:3000>
```bash
bundle exec rails s
```
### Tests
Standard RSpec/Capybara tests are used for testing the application. The
tests can be run with `bundle exec rake`.
Mocha/Konacha is used for unit testing any JavaScript. JavaScript specs
should be placed in `spec/javascripts`. Run the JavaScript specs with
`bundle exec rake konacha:serve`.
If you are using the omniauth environment variables
