As part of Hacktoberfest, we're labelling issues with "Hacktoberfest" and "Help Wanted" to make the low-hanging fruit easy to spot.
Feel free to submit a pull-request, with the posted issues as pointers to find areas that need work. If you find something that isn't an issue yet, please feel free to post it as an issue on GitHub.
To make sure that you aren't working on an issue that someone else is already coding for, add a comment to the issue to let everyone know that you've started work on it.
You can try to get the application running on your computer in one of two ways:
Method 1. Install Ruby and MongoDB - it runs natively on your computer. Install the bundler gem with "gem install bundler" and in the project directory, run "bundle install" . Then, execute "runme.bat"
Method 2. Install Oracle VirtualBox 5.1 and Vagrant - it sets up a virtual machine. Then, from the project directory, run the command "vagrant up"
This should get the server running and you can access the application from your web browser at: http://localhost:8000/
