Schoolhouse Watch

Schoolhouse Watch is a news application to share data about the 22 public schools slated to close in the School District of Philadelphia in 2013.

Setting up locally

Schoolhouse Watch pulls its "resources" from a google spreadsheet, so you need to add environment variables for your Google account.

$ vi .env

Add your environment variables.

export GOOGLE_DRIVE_EMAIL="[email protected]"
export GOOGLE_DRIVE_PASSWORD="yoursecretpassword"

Then, to quit VIM, type :wq and hit enter.

Don't forget to load the variables by source

$ source .env

To install the project dependencies, run

$ bundle install

Set up the database:

$ rake db:create
$ rake db:migrate
$ rake db:import

Start the server:

$ rails s
