   bundle install --without test hosting sqlite postgres  #default command for mysql installs

   see using bundler with Wagn for more details / customization / troubleshooting
4. configure config/database.yml for your database. (defaults work with default mysql install)

5. rake wagn:create

6. ./script/server

Option B: Long Haul

recommended for active/production sites

We recommend installing via git for sites in active use in order to get access to the most recent code and to make upgrades easier.

You will need: git, bundler, and either Postgres or Mysql.

   git clone git://github.com/wagn/wagn.git

6. Start your server
   To fire up the default, built-in WEBrick server, just run:
