Taking a look at Ruby Asana clone Scheme. Many thanks to jordanholliday for creating it!

There isn’t a lot of documentation for how to install it. I provide my rough notes in hopes that they’ll help someone else.

Basic Background

Ruby has a few prerequisites. On Suse, I installed them with:

zypper install ruby2.5-rubygem-bundler ruby-devel postgresql-devel

The bundler-gem installs all the software you’ll need to support Scheme:

bundle install

To run the project, start the server with:

rails server

It will tell you what URL to put in your browser.

Challenges

I got an error on the pg gem. This refers to postresql. I listed it in the dependencies above, but the specific package that solved the problem was postgresql-devel.

Next was a warning about deprecated types in activesupport:

/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/activesupport-4.2.5.1/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/conversions.rb:121: warning: constant ::Fixnum is deprecated
 /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/activesupport-4.2.5.1/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/conversions.rb:121: warning: constant ::Bignum is deprecated

This required a newer version of rails. Update Gemfile to ask for a the new version

gem 'rails', '4.2.8'

Tell Bundler to grab the new version

bundle update rails
