Mac Dev Setup Guide

If running the project locally, follow these instructions to get started:

Install Homebrew

If you don't already have it, install Homebrew. You can run the following command to do so:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Install Ruby

You will need a Ruby version >=3 to run this project. Ideally, the latest version.

We recommend installing rbenv using Homebrew with the following commands:

brew install rbenv ruby-build
rbenv init

Follow the instructions in your shell.

Now, install a Ruby version:

rbenv install 3.3.1

And finally, set this as your default Ruby version for your machine if desired:

rbenv global 3.3.1

Check your Ruby version:

ruby -v

Install PostgreSQL

Install Postgres and start it as a service:

brew install postgresql

brew services start postgresql

Setup user

On a fresh installation of Postgres, a user, postgres will be available. If this is not the case (due to a prior installation of PG or other reasons), you can create the user with the following command:

createuser -s postgres

Start the Project

Start by forking and then cloning the repo locally. Then run the following commands to start the app:

cd maybe
cp .env.example .env
bundle install
bin/rails db:setup
bin/dev
