    #Bluemix Instructions

Install cloudfoundry cli

In your console run rake db:create db:migrate to create your dbs and the schema
Open config/database.yml and change your Production settings to look similar to this:

production:
<% if ENV['VCAP_SERVICES'] %>
<% services = JSON.parse(ENV['VCAP_SERVICES'])
   postgres = services["elephantsql"]
   credentials = postgres.first["credentials"] %>
  url: <%= credentials["uri"] %>
<% else %>
  <<: *default
  database: db/production.sqlite3
<% end %>
