Installing RADAR on Ubuntu

 DRAFT-DRAFT-DRAFT  Please report any trouble to Prof. Gordon

Assumptions

1. git client is installed (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Git)
2. You have an account with gitorious.org (https://gitorious.org/)
3. You have created an ssh key and provided your public key to gitorious.org. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys)
4. You have ruby 1.9.3 and rvm installed.  (http://ryanbigg.com/2010/12/ubuntu-ruby-rvm-rails-and-you)

Preparation

1. Create a directory into which you want to place your Radar installation. For the sake of this document, we will refer to this directory as $RADAR_HOME
2. cd $RADAR_HOME. All of the following activity occurs within your current directory as $RADAR_HOME. All file references are relative to $RADAR_HOME.
3. git clone  git@github.com:rkgordon3/radar.git
4. sudo apt-get install rake
5. sudo apt-get install ruby-bundler
6. bundle install
   
   If step 7 hangs, comment out the following lines in Gemfile 
   
   group :test do
           gem 'cucumber-rails', '1.2.1'
           gem 'rspec-rails', '2.7.0'
           gem 'database_cleaner', '0.7.0'
           gem 'factory_girl', '4.1.0'
           gem 'capybara'
   #       gem 'mongoid-rspec', :require => false
   end
   
   then run bundle install again, then uncomment above lines and run bundle install yet again.
   
   
7. Create a file config/database.yml and put the following in this file:
   
   development:
      adapter: sqlite3
      database: db/development.sqlite3
      pool: 5
      timeout: 5000
   
   # Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and
   # re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".
   # Do not set this db to the same as development or production.
   test: &test
     adapter: sqlite3
     database: db/test.sqlite3
     pool: 5
     timeout: 5000
   
   cucumber:
     <<: *test
    
8. rake db:migrate
9. rake db:seed

Running Server

You can now run the rails server

rails s

This runs server on port 3000. You can change the port with a -p option.

The seeds file populated the development database with a user 
radar-admin@smumn.edu with password as 'password.' You can log in with that user and then add a couple users for your testing. 

Using Oracle

See this post if you are going to use Oracle database with Radar. In this case, you must also modify config/database.yml. Comment out the current values in the development: group and use these:

adapter: oracle_enhanced
database: ecs4
