# Legal Housing App
[Legal Housing App](http://legalhousing.herokuapp.com/)
## Status
Currently we have a basic rails app up and running with a small sample dataset of Craigslist postings.
## Purpose of the App
The purpose of the app is to search housing listings in the Boston area to find discriminatory postings.
## How to Contribute
If you wish to contribute to the project please read this README and follow the getting started instructions.
## Getting Started

You should have already joined the Code for Boston slack channel as directed by the [new members set up](http://www.codeforboston.org/new-members/). If you have not done that already do that.
2. Follow the instructions at [install Rails](http://installrails.com) to get Rails working on your local machine. Make sure to install [RVM](https://rvm.io).
3. Clone the repo to your directory.
