if you get an error and don't have a bundler installed run $gem install bundler

$ rake db:migrate $ rails server

Go to http://localhost:3000/ and you can play with the app.

== Steps done on 1/17/12:

$ rails new bridgetroll -T $ cd bridgetroll/ $ git init $ git add . $ git status $ git commit -m "brand new rails app"

add this to the Gemfile gem 'devise'

$ bundle

$ rails g scaffold event title:string $ rake db:migrate

$ rails generate devise:install create config/initializers/devise.rb create config/locales/devise.en.yml

Setup you must do manually if you haven't yet:

In config/environments/development.rb development environment:

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }

This is a required Rails configuration. In production it must be the actual host of your application
Ensure you have defined root_url to something in your config/routes.rb. For example:

root :to => "events#index"
Ensure you have flash messages in app/views/layouts/application.html.erb. For example:

<%= notice %>

<%= alert %>

$ rails g devise:install

add this to config/environments/development.rb config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }

add this to config/routes.rb root :to => "events#index"

$ git rm public/index.html

add this to app/views/layouts/application.html.erb (under the yield)

<%= notice %>

<%= alert %>

add this to config/application.rb config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false

$ rails generate devise User

uncomment out some of the features that you want in the user model (app/models/user.rb) and the migration file (in my case db/migrate/20120118045557_devise_create_users.rb ) see http://blazingcloud.net/2011/01/08/devise-authentication-in-rails-3/

$ rake db:migrate

$ rails generate devise:views
