Quick Start

Here's how to get a development environment up and running. This is where any new pod runner should start, as well as anyone looking to contribute to diaspora*.

This script assumes you have a basic Rails setup installed.

Step 1: Run the script and follow the on screen instructions.

 bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diaspora/diaspora/master/script/install.sh)

Alternatively you can also try an experimental install script (written in Ruby): see here

Step 2: Run the development server

 rails s

then visit 'http://localhost:3000' in your browser.

Step 3 (for developers): Run tests

 rake

Step 4 (for everyone): Party!

Main installation guides

Want a production setup? Having trouble with the installation script? Want to install diaspora* the slow way?

-== Foreword ==
+== Quick Start ==
-This articles focuses on how to get a development environment setup on a linux distribution.
+Here's how to get a [http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html development environment] up and running. This is where any new pod runner should start, as well as anyone looking to contribute to diaspora*.
-Besides installation means, the setting up should be pretty the same on Windows.
-If you have any problem, don't hesitate to join us on [[IRC#IRC|IRC]]
-The project uses the following tools with following versions. We will explain you how to get them :
+This script assumes you have a [http://railsapps.github.io/installing-rails.html basic Rails setup installed].

-==== Step 1: Get the sources and install the tools ====
+  bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diaspora/diaspora/master/script/install.sh)
-The diaspora* project uses git and Github to manage sources. You can clone them with the following command :
+Alternatively you can also try an experimental install script (written in Ruby): [https://github.com/Raven24/diaspora-install see here]
-    git clone https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora.git
+==== Step 2: Run the development server ====
-Then, to get the tools, you must use the packaging command-line tool of your distribution : <tt>apt-get</tt>, <tt>urpmi</tt>, <tt>yum</tt>, etc...
+  rails s
-Ruby should be in every decent distribution repo :
-   # On Mageia/Mandriva :
+then visit 'http://localhost:3000' in your browser.
-   urpmi ruby
-   # On Ubuntu/Debian :
-   apt-get install ruby
-   # On Fedora/CentOS :
-   yum install ruby
-The other tools might or might not be prepackaged by your distribution. On Mageia/Mandriva Linux, you should do the following :
+==== Step 3 (for developers): Run tests ====
-   urpmi ruby-RubyGems
+  rake
-   urpmi ruby-rails
-   urpmi ruby-rvm
-   urpmi ruby-rspec
-   urpmi ruby-bundler
-Your distribution might have a different naming scheme for ruby packages. If they are not named the same way than on Mageia/Mandriva, you can search them with the following :
-   # On Fedora/CentOS :
-   yum search rvm
-   # On Debian/Ubuntu :
-   apt-cache search rvm
-If you can't find any of these, you should be able to get all the required tools with RubyGems.
-Please refer to the [https://rubygems.org/pages/download following page] to see how to install and use it.
-It is better to use the tools packaged by your distribution than these installed by gem if they exists.
-At least, you should have the <tt>rvm</tt> and <tt>bundler</tt> gems installed.
-==== Step 2: Setting up the environment ====
-Once you have <tt>rvm</tt> and <tt>bundler</tt> installed, place yourself in the diaspora source directory and type :
+==== Step 4 (for everyone): Party! ====
-    # Will install the correct version of ruby
-    rvm install 2.1.2
-    # Rvm requires bash to be run in login mode before setting a default version of Ruby
-    /bin/bash --login
-    # Will use the correct version of ruby by default
-    rvm use 2.1.2 --default
-    # Turn off the previous bash thread
-    exit
-the <tt>--default</tt> option will make ruby use the version by default in every shell. Without this option, you will have to type <tt>rvm use 2.0.0-p481</tt> each time you want to start the diaspora server.
-Then, install all the required bundles :
-    bundle update
-One last step : configure all the config files ! Move to ''./config'' and copy all the ''.example'' files renaming them by removing the ''.example'' part.
-You should have three : ''diaspora.yml.example'', ''database.yml.example'' and ''schedule.yml.example''. Or you can do it with one command-line... because it's cool !
-    for file in `ls *.example`; do cp "$file" `echo "$file" | sed s/.example//`; done
-Then, edit the file ''database.yml'' to set the credentials to your database. by default, it is using mysql, but you can set postgres.
-You just have to comment the line <tt><<: *mysql</tt> and uncomment <tt>#<<: *postgres</tt>
-If you want to work on the XMPP chat, please also follow the instructions [[Vines|there]].
-==== Step 3 : start the server ! ====
-    ./script/server
-and go to the page [http://0.0.0.0:3000 http://0.0.0.0:3000]
-==== Step 4 : Run tests ====
-  rake
-==== Step 5 : Troubles ? ====
