alternative instructions for getting app running

gistfile1.txt

$ biogem --with-engine Foo foo
$ cd bioruby-foo
$ rake version:write
update gemfile to specify new version of bundler
$ bundle install
Note: a database is automatically configure for the newly created gem
$ cd ../
$ rails new Webfoo
$ add `gem 'bio-foo', :path=>'path_gem_dir' `  into Rails application Gemfile the newly created gem:
$ cd Webfoo

$(maybe also: bundle exec rake gemspec, then update gem's gemspec file where marked TODO:)
$ bundle install


Enable the route for the added gem (in biouby-foo/config/routes.rb) uncomment:

yourPathToTheControllerFiles = "/"
controllerName = :foos
#otherControllerName = :samples
#---
scope mount_at, yourPathToTheControllerFiles do    
  resources controllerName do
    member do
      get :example
    end
  end
#  resources otherControllerName, :only =>[:index, :show]
end #scope


In bioruby-foo/lib/bio/foo/example.rb be sure the example class is uncommented:

module Bio
  module Foo
    class Example < DummyConn
    end
  end
end

in bioruby-foo find all instances of Foo in Foo_controller, folder and file names, views etc and change to name of gem 

uncomment contents of db/migrate/001_create_example.rb

cd bioruby-foo
bundle exec rake db:create
bundle exec rake db:migrate

Thanks I'll update docs and implementation
