These are the steps I took to build the gem, install it locally, and then install and run the app in an "existing" project.
git clone git@github.com:Anotheruiguy/toadstool.git
cd toadstool
git checkout gem
gem build toadstool.gemspec
gem install toadstool --local
cd ../
mkdir Foo
cd Foo/
toadstool new
bundle update
rake assets:precompile
toadstool server
The
mkdir Foo
andcd Foo/
are simply to simulate an existing directory. You could create a brand new app withtoadstool new Foo
.
