Docimer Documentation

first download the rails installer. Just like WordPress where you need LAMP (for Linux) or WAMP (for Windows, A: Apache, M: MySql, P: PHP), for Docimer, you'll need the rails installer.

Next Step: you have to clone the Docimer app from the GitHub repository, or download the zip version (remember to unzip). For Windows user, create a folder called sites in the root of your machine (e.g C:\Sites ). Place you docimer folder in there (e.g. C:\Sites\docimer ). It can be anywhere, but for the sake of this tutorial, we'll leave it there.

Now, we've installed the rails installer, and have a copy of Docimer in the sites folder in the C: drive. Now, lets start the ruby on rails server. Follow these steps =>

In the command prompt (for Windows) =>

cd \sites/docimer

bundle install

rails db:migrate

rails s

And that's it for Windows. Head over to a a browser and load =>

http://localhost:3000

You should see Docimer running (probably a blank page with a header & footer). To sign up =>

http://localhost:3000/cmsadmins/sign_up

http://localhost:3000/cmsadmins/sign_in

follow the rails installer steps for Linux (from the rails installer site). On my end, I prefer using RVM to install Rails on Linux (mostly Ubuntu).

Next Step: you have to clone the Docimer app from the GitHub repository, or download the zip version (remember to unzip). I'll assume your folder is in /home/[username]/sites/docimer. It can be anywhere, but for the sake of this tutorial, we'll leave it there.For me, its in /home/ubuntu/sites/docimer

Now, we've installed Ruby on Rails, and have a copy of Docimer in the sites folder in the C: drive. Now, lets start the ruby on rails server. From your Docimer folder =>

In the terminal (for Linux) =>

bundle install

rails db:migrate

rails s

And that's it for Linux. Head over to a a browser and load =>

http://localhost:3000

NB: if its on a Cloud Server e.g. AWS Ec2, remember to open port 3000 in the Security Group.

You should see Docimer running (probably a blank page with a header & footer). To sign up =>
