To get started, create a local repository with svn checkout:
13 1 Matthew Sears
14 1 Matthew Sears
<pre>
15 1 Matthew Sears
svn checkout https://opendesignengine.net/svn/ode/trunk

h1. Create Development Database
19 1 Matthew Sears
20 1 Matthew Sears
You will need to setup a local development MySQL database and call 'ode_development'.  Next we need to create a new database.yml so the application knows how to connect to the database.  To accomplish this, simple copy the database.yml.exampe file:

<pre>
23 5 J. Simmons
cd trunk
24 4 J. Simmons
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
25 1 Matthew Sears
</pre>
26 1 Matthew Sears

Under the production: section of the the config fill, fill in the database name, username, and password.

h1. Bundler
30 1 Matthew Sears
31 1 Matthew Sears
To install the required third-party gems to run the ODE application, we run the following Bundler command:
32 1 Matthew Sears
33 1 Matthew Sears
<pre>
34 1 Matthew Sears
bundle install
35 1 Matthew Sears
</pre>
36 1 Matthew Sears
37 1 Matthew Sears
Note: you will need to install Bundler first (gem install bundler)

h1. Database Preparation
40 1 Matthew Sears
41 1 Matthew Sears
To prepare the database, we first need to run migrations:
42 1 Matthew Sears
43 1 Matthew Sears
<pre>
44 1 Matthew Sears
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
45 1 Matthew Sears
</pre>
46 1 Matthew Sears
47 1 Matthew Sears
We now need some seed data to get started:
48 1 Matthew Sears
49 1 Matthew Sears
<pre>
50 1 Matthew Sears
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:seed
51 1 Matthew Sears
</pre>
52 1 Matthew Sears
53 1 Matthew Sears
h1. Running the Application
54 1 Matthew Sears
55 1 Matthew Sears
Now we should be ready to run the application locally:
56 1 Matthew Sears
57 1 Matthew Sears
<pre>
58 1 Matthew Sears
RAILS_ENV=production script/server
59 1 Matthew Sears
</pre>
60 1 Matthew Sears

If all goes well, you should be able to open the application at http://localhost:3000
