This repository is for our sPotholes administrative backend, API, and web frontend.

Setting up local environment

####For image manipulation you will need to install imagemagick and libwebp.

######You can install imagemagick via homebrew:

$brew install imagemagick

######Install libwebp via homebrew:

First update homebrew, then install libwebp:

$brew update
$brew install webp

######or install libwebp via macports:

First update macports, then install libwebp:

$sudo port selfupdate
$sudo port install webp

Install project local gems (from within the sPotholes directory):

$bundle install

Set up the database (from within the sPotholes directory):

$rake db:create
$rake db:migrate

####We recommed using [POW] (http://pow.cx/) for the local server as it is pretty much configuration free.

Just do:

$ curl get.pow.cx | sh

And then:

$ cd ~/.pow
$ ln -s /path/to/spotholes

That's it! Your application is now being served at: http://spotholes.dev
