Infrastructure for CodeProject. Information on how to setup one's machine to get the project running goes here.

On Windows

• See http://www.napcs.com/howto/railsonwindows.html for a detailed list of instructions.

Rails

• Open a command prompt and type

gem install rails --include-dependencies

Eclipse

• Download from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/index.php

• Unzip to directory where it will live. I recommend a place without spaces in the path, such as "c:\bin\eclipse"
• Create a shortcut to it for ease in launching.
• Start it up

Eclipse RDT plugin

Set up the project

Check out from SVN

• in Eclipse, Window->Open Perspective->Other->SVN Repository Exploring

  • Repository URL: https://opensvn.csie.org/AgileMD_CodeProject

  • Repository Root URL: https://opensvn.csie.org

  • You can also browse CVS

• Expand the node created, select "trunk, right-click and Check out as...

  • name the project something useful, like "AgileMD_CodeProject" rather than "trunk"

Set up database

• in Eclipse, Window->Open Perspective->Other->Ruby

• in Eclipse, Window->Show View->Other->Basic->Navigator

  • edit the username and password, if necessary

  • File->Save As->database.yml

  • Note: this file should not be checked into SVN
• Open a command window (AKA 'DOS Prompt')

    • mysql> create database membership;

    • mysql> create database membership_test;

    • mysql> create database membership_prod;

    • mysql> quit;

  • mysql -u root -p membership < {project-dir}/db/development_structure.sql
