Automated setup of development environment - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

@fsf1967 yes, I think it's intended that gulp stays active while you develop.
Just open a new terminal, go to ~/projects/loomio folder, and run rails s.

This is great work, @gaspari, thanks.

I'm having trouble parsing that last question; what's not successful the first time?

A couple notes:

• We shouldn't be using bower at all anymore, so npm install -g bower shouldn't be needed
• We require gulp-sass in our angular/package.json, so not sure why we'd need to install it globally. I'd be more inclined to rm -rf node_modules; npm install to get gulp-sass going if it doesn't work
• rake bootstrap should run both db:setup and bundle install, so I don't think those bits need to be in here. If anything the permission granting lines should move into bootstrap.rake
• The bootstrap task assumes OSX at the moment (ie, it runs brew install <thing>, but that's obviously not the best. Maybe you'd have interest in adopting it to run correctly on Ubuntu as well?

My ideal solution for this would be a rake task which can be run immediately after cloning the repository, and ideally works on OSX and Ubuntu. I think the package installation, DB setup, and even rbenv stuff can all live in there. Thoughts?

Thanks James, you've answered my question in great detail :)
I agree, making rake Ubuntu-compatible would be the best.
I'd love to contribute more to this but my MSc deadline is closing and I now must focus on developing 1-2 functions/modules.

the return of the terminal:

pffff i don't know what's going wrong

Since yesterday the console remains blocked as indicated higher

and today a write the command rails s ans this is the return:

~/projects/loomio# rails s
git://github.com/robguthrie/mail.git (at memoize-encoded@47c87d5) is not yet checked out. Run bundle install first.
~/projects/loomio#

thank you for your help

Btw, the console is not "blocked". You can press ctrl-c to exit gulp dev. You don't need that running to see the Loomio interface.

so i enter "bundle install", and after rails s

The return is on the file join to this post.

loomio don't works

1. Run this and try again running BOTH scripts (sometimes there are network glitches and github download fails...):

2. Or start from a fresh Ubuntu installation:

Thank you for your help, loomio is working on my VM :thumbsup:

As i want use loomio in production only now i have some more questions

• Loomio is not reachable with the url http://ip_of_the_vm:3000 how can i make it reachable?

• I understand that a need to write the command "rails s" for lauching loomio server at each start of my VM? it's true?

• how can i configure smtp server and domain server in loomio (important for the registration of my users)

Thank you

For production install, check this page:

If you run into troubles, check other threads in the install group, you'll probably find answers you need.
