Log of install for spectral workbench
As of tuesday 2 may 2013

On linux ubuntu 10.10 maverick

Download the SpectralWorkbench zip file from github:
https://github.com/jywarren/spectral-workbench/archive/master.zip
Unzip it and change into the created directory.
  "cd spectral-workbench-master"

Installed ruby and rubygems (as root or with "sudo"): 
 "apt-get install ruby"+"apt-get install rubygems"
  (
   Don't install anything else for ruby with apt-get.
  )

Install rails with gem:
 "sudo gem install -v=2.3.15 rails"
  (
   Don't install it with apt-get. The version is wrong.
   Test rail with the demo "rails Test" in a tmp directory.
   Run it with "script/server" in the "Test" directory.
   It should produce a server on "http://0.0.0.0:3000" with a "It worked" page.
   Kill this server or it will compete with the SpectralWorkbench one.
  )

Goto to the root of the webserver:
  "cd webserver"

Create the database.yml file by copying the example:
 "cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml"

Install some gems:
  "sudo gem install ruby-openid -v 2.2.2"
  "sudo gem install rack-openid"
  "sudo gem install aws-s3 paperclip recaptcha redcarpet will_paginate"
  "sudo gem install paperclip -v 2.7.0"

Some apt-get to have everything installed (as root or with "sudo"):
  "apt-get install libxslt-ruby" (Not sure it's util!)
   from http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html i discovered it was :
  "apt-get install ruby1.8-dev ruby1.8 ri1.8 rdoc1.8 irb1.8"
  "apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev"

Run a small shell script with the following lines in it. (run it with ". ./gem2install.sh under unix/linux)

Add "gem 'cocaine', '0.3.2'" in config/environment.rb file
 (just under the "Rails::Initializer.run do |config|" line)

Then "sudo gem install cocaine -v 0.3.2" (But it's 0.2.1 in your gems list!)

Run "sudo env PATH=$PATH rake gems:instal"
 (the "env PATH=$PATH" to ensure sudo finds rake.)

Run: "rake db:migrate "

Start the webserver:
  "./startup"

Open a google chrome browser on page http://127.0.0.1:3000"
I should work!

Hi, Yves - did you think there was anything stopping us from making changes to the environment.rb file and then a lot of the "sudo gem install..." lines would be unnecessary? I'd love then to convert the remainder of this into a section in the main project's README file.

hi guys, so i tried to reproduce this on ubuntu 13.04. i got as far as 'rake db:migrate', resulting in an error. the webserver starts, with the same error code... any ideas?

Sorry! i missed this, maybe i don't get gist notifications...

Sreyanth seems to be having the same issue, but I think the restful-authentication thing is a red herring (unrelated).

But I see you are running Ruby 1.9.1, no? This is set up for Ruby 1.8.7, actually, and while we could get it running on both, it might be easier to just use 1.8.7 for now. Do you have RVM installed? It makes running multiple versions of Ruby much easier. https://rvm.io/

Also, all the "sudo gem install" lines should be unecessary; you should be able to simply run "rake gems:install" and they will all be installed.

hi.. any update for ruby and rails latest version?
i installed on 1.8.7 ,but many gems above require 1.9.3
im successful to run webserver but get error
