The app now runs on Ruby 2.6.6 up to Ruby 2.6.x (preferred), and Rails 5.2.x, and uses Bundler for gem management and Yarn for static asset management.
Download a copy of the source with git clone https://github.com/publiclab/spectral-workbench.git
Install gems with bundle install from the rails root folder. You may need to run bundle update if you have older gems in your environment.
Copy and configure database with cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml. Similarly, configure cp config/config.yml.example config/config.yml
Initialize database with bundle exec rake db:setup
Install static assets (like external javascript libraries, fonts) with yarn install
Start rails with bundle exec passenger start from the Rails root and open http://localhost:3000 in a web browser. (For some, just passenger start will work; adding bundle exec ensures you're using the version of passenger you just installed with Bundler.)
Create a account at PublicLab.org and use that username to log in.
Then you will be redirected to publiclab.org to "approve" a use of the openid identity.
Note that this applies for development environment as well.
