# Open ~/.bashrc and change '[ -z "$PS1" ] && return' to 'if [[ -n "$PS1" ]] ; then'
# Close the if statement with 'fi' at the bottom of the file, just before 
# [[ -s "/home/foo/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "/home/foo/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
# HELP: If anyone knows how to automate this step, please feel free to make suggestions

# Reload your ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc

# Configure rvm
echo >> ~/.rvmrc export rvm_trust_rvmrcs_flag=1  # Automatically trust all .rvmrc files

echo "gem 'therubyracer'" >> foo/Gemfile

# Have passenger automatically download and install nginx, then start up your server
passenger start
