Now I have open sourced the engine behind it (aka **Built in** engine) so you can quickly roll one for your own city in a few minutes.\n\n### Getting started\nThe software is designed using [Ruby on Rails](http://rubyonrails.org) with [MySQL](http://www.mysql.com) as a database. You'll need Ruby (preferably 1.9.3), Ruby on Rails (preferably 3.2), [Bundler](http://gembundler.com), MySQL and an [Amazon Web Services](http://aws.amazon.com) account (it uses S3 for image hosting).\n\nIt's really simple to get your own version of **Built in** setup:\n\nFirst of all, download this repository and navigate to the `builtin` folder.\n```\n$ git clone git://github.com/bih/builtin.git\n```\n\nSecond, edit the Rails database file with your MySQL database information.\n```\n/config/database.yml\n```\n\nThirdly, you'll need to download all dependencies using [Bundler](http://gembundler.com).\n```\n$ bundle install\n```\n\nBefore you continue, you'll need two things. One is to have your [access keys](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?#security_credential) for Amazon Web Services. Second is to decide what the username/password combination will be to access your admin panel.\n\nFourthly, use Rake and Rails Migration to install your database. Note how we've prepended `S3_KEY`, `S3_SECRET`, `ADMIN_USERNAME` and `ADMIN_PASSWORD`. **Please fill these in**. This tells Rails information it needs to run.\n```\n$ S3_KEY=\"\" S3_SECRET=\"\" ADMIN_USERNAME=\"test\" ADMIN_PASSWORD=\"test\" rake db:migrate\n```\n\nNow you're all setup. Just prepend those keys to any Rails-like commands (i.e. `server`) and it should be fine. When deploying to [Heroku](http://www.heroku.com) or any other cloud hosting provider, these are also known as environment variables. I would **not** recommend hard coding the keys in your codebase for security reasons.\n```\n$ S3_KEY=\"\" S3_SECRET=\"\" ADMIN_USERNAME=\"test\" ADMIN_PASSWORD=\"test\" bundle exec rails server\n```\n### Post-installation\nOnce you have completed the installation above, you're ready to go live. The admin panel for your website can be found at [http://localhost:3000/admin](http://localhost:3000/admin) once you run the `rails server` command.\n\nIf you'd like to add startups manually, you will need to submit and approve it through the admin panel manually. I won't go through the admin panel as I have designed it to be intuitive. You're free to open a issue through GitHub if you're having problems.\n\n### Contributing\nI would love to see **Built in** used to showcase many exciting startups across many cities worldwide. As a small weekend hack, I know the software has plenty of room for improvement and I would happily accept any pull requests.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbih%2Fbuiltin","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbih%2Fbuiltin","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbih%2Fbuiltin/lists"}
