Installing Loomio
I propose that the instructions on the Github wiki page for installing Loomio on a local machine specify the versions of Ruby and Rails on which Loomio is expected to run.
In the short term, hand-coding the recommended/supported version(s) of Ruby, Rails and even known good OS platforms into the install instructions would be helpful.
In the longer term, I (naively) wonder if there's a way for the Wiki page to pull the value(s) from the app Gemfile, or to have the value specified somewhere common to the Rails app and the wiki (i.e. keep it DRY)?
This is also important now as Ruby and Rails are both transitioning major versions. Perhaps a continuous build (Jenkins? Hudson!?) against various versions of Ruby and Rails would help keep developers informed of the status of the code, at least on major platform revisions?

@jonlemmon ok, I will do that.
About jqplot.1.0.0b2_r792 in css file, it is correct version of this package or it is a error?
Sorry for bother you with these things. I hope help you in the future.

@rafaelgomes No worries. =)
To be honest, I don't really know much about jqplot because I didn't install it in Loomio. I've never heard of anyone having to download it separately though, it should just work in Loomio straight-out-of-the-box.

@jonlemmon may be the ubuntu already has this in its default installation.
I will find how install this in Debian. May be to help another guy, like me, to install in Debian too :)

@rafaelgomes hmm, okay. I feel like the only file needed is already included in the github repo already though:
https://github.com/loomio/loomio/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/lib/jqplot.pieRenderer.min.js
So I'm not really sure why you're getting that error. Hope your bug-hunting goes well! =)

@jonlemmon I already had this file :(
rafaelgomes@suecia2:~$ file loomio/app/assets/javascripts/lib/jqplot.pieRenderer.min.js
loomio/app/assets/javascripts/lib/jqplot.pieRenderer.min.js: ASCII English text, with very long lines

It is weird. I found the file, but the service don't :(
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/jqplot-rails-0.1/vendor/assets/javascripts/jqplot.1.0.0b2_r792.js
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/jqplot-rails-0.1/vendor/assets/stylesheets/jqplot.1.0.0b2_r792.css
According this, the package is installed, but may be stay in wrong place.

Thanks for all return, I solved my problem:
wget https://bitbucket.org/cleonello/jqplot/downloads/jquery.jqplot.1.0.0b2_r792.tar.bz2
tar xvjf jquery.jqplot.1.0.0b2_r792.tar.bz2
cp ./dist/jquery.jqplot.js /home/rafaelgomes/loomio/app/assets/javascripts/jqplot.1.0.0b2_r792.js
cp ./dist/jquery.jqplot.css /home/rafaelgomes/loomio/app/assets/stylesheets/jqplot.1.0.0b2_r792.css
sudo foreman start
\o/

After install without any error, I try to click in "Groups" link, and don't show me the menu. The same thing happens in my full name :(
Another thing, I don't have Notification link in my menu, is there any other version of this software?

did you set up your first group as described in the 'installing on a local machine' guide?
I can't think of anything that would lead to you not being able to the notifications link. perhaps include a screenshot.

Hey @rafaelgomes, unfortunately we don't have the time/resources to help you get Loomio installed right now if you don't have basic Rails knowledge. However, once you've gone through the tutorial we've recommended and have a basic level of knowledge with Rails apps then we'll be happy to help you sort out any issues.
But for starters, I would recommend installing on Ubuntu. We don't really have any developers running Debian so it will be harder for us to support you if you're running on Debian.
