Instructions to Operate

1. Clone as a new application into a new directory :

$ git clone https://github.com/kathyonu/rails-stripe-membership-saas.git

1a. Change Directory into the new app :

$ cd rails-stripe-membership-saas

2. Open your Gemfile and make sure you have the right versions of Ruby and Rails :

  source 'https://rubygems.org'
  ruby "2.1.0"
  gem 'rails', '4.0.2'

2a. Using your favorite editor, open the .ruby-gemset and .ruby-version files.
This will open TextEdit from inside your Terminal :

$ open -e .ruby-gemset
$ open -e .ruby-version

Your .ruby-gemset file should show only the gemset name, here we use : Rails4.0.2_rails-stripe-membership-saas
Your .ruby-version file should show only the version number : 2.1.0

2b. After you verify your new gemset, then run bundle install :

$ bundle install

3. Create your application.yml file from the application.example.yml file, using your own data.
4. Make sure /config/application.yml exists in your ./.gitignore file. (It is at the bottom of the file)
5. Run the setup commands :

$ rake db:migrate
$ rake db:seed
$ rake db:test:prepare

You are now ready to run, and test your app.

6. To run cucumber tests:

$ cucumber

7. To run Rspec tests:

$ rspec spec 

8. To run your server:

$ rails s

Now you can open your browser to http://localhost:3000

You are up and running on Rails 4.
