Development

Installing required dependencies

• First, make sure that the /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/ is in your path, as root.

• Then install the bundle gem :
  sudo gem install bundle

• And finally, the dependencies :
  sudo bundle install

Running the project

• In a terminal, run the following script :
  ./run.sh
  That should display something like
  [2011-05-16 00:24:26] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1 [2011-05-16 00:24:26] INFO ruby 1.8.7 (2011-02-18) [x86_64-linux] [2011-05-16 00:24:31] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=15759 port=9393

• Then point your web browser to this url : http://0.0.0.0:9393

Notes

The project has switched from the shotgun debugging tool to the sinatra/reloader library.
The first one forks the process on every connection and is not able to maintain server-side persistant variables… and this is quite annoying, even for development & debugging purposes.
