running on Heroku.
## Setup
### Setup on your local machine
Clone the pluto.live.starter git repo:
$ git clone git://github.com/feedreader/pluto.live.starter.git
Get all your Ruby libraries (gems) installed using the bundler tool:
$ cd pluto.live.starter
$ bundle install --without production
Note, use the `--without production` option for local development
unless you want to install the PostgreSQL (pg) database libraries
and services (required for production on the Heroku hosting service.)
Setup the database and planet feed subscriptions:
$ rake setup PLANET=ruby
Update your planet feeds:
$ rake update
Showtime! Startup the web server:
$ rackup
That's it.
### Setup on Heroku

$ git clone git://github.com/feedreader/pluto.live.starter.git

$ cd pluto.live.starter
$ heroku create
Upload via
$ git push heroku master
Add the PostgreSQL addon
$ heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev
Establish primary database (that is, set DATABASE_URL). Find your POSTGRESQL_URL:
$ heroku config | grep HEROKU_POSTGRESQL
And promote HEROKU_POSTGRESQL__URL to DATABASE_URL:
$ heroku pg:promote HEROKU_POSTGRESQL__URL
Create database andd add planet feed subscriptions on first upload via
$ heroku run rake setup PLANET=ruby
