Installing Wagn

You will need

A RubyonRails environment, including either Postgres or Mysql (SQLite support coming soon).  If you don't have a preferred Rails environment, try InstantRails, and then see the +instant rails.

You will also need to install some gems:

sudo gem install json_pure

sudo gem install ruby-openid

sudo gem install cached_model

Get the code

download Wagn from RubyForge

~OR~

svn checkout svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/wagn/branches/stable wagn

We recommend the Subversion method as it makes upgrades much easier.

Configure wagn

1. In the config directory, copy sample_wagn.rb to wagn.rb
2. In wagn.rb set:
     System.base_url= final URL (what users will really type in their browser)
     System.site_name=name of the Wagn's front page (note: this can be overridden in Wagn itself).
3. to get mail working, see +mail setup

Configure your database

1. In database.yml set
     adapter: ( mysql or postgresql )
     user:  ( your db user.  root often works for default mysql installs )
2. Create the database: rake db:create
   
3. set up the database: rake db:migrate

If you have trouble with step 4 or 5 check out +database details

Start it up

1. Start the server: ./script/server
2. Point your browser to http://localhost:3000 (or your System.base_url above).

Now that your wagn is running, check out after installation.
