### Prerequisites

* Ruby 2.0

* Postgres 9.3

* Redis

* A GitHub app account

* A Twitter app account

### Setup

    bundle install

    createdb monocle_development

    rake db:migrate

### Configuration

Monocle needs a few configuration variables to work properly.

You can export them from your terminal like in the following example:

    export GITHUB_KEY=123

    export GITHUB_SECRET=123

    export TWITTER_KEY=123

    export TWITTER_SECRET=123

Or you can copy the included .sample.env into a .env file and set all your

variables there.

### First time user

To become administrator as first time user, first start Monocle with:

    thin start

Login with twitter or github into Monocle, then open a terminal and open Monocle inside an IRB session with:

    irb -r ./app.rb

From there execute:

    user = Brisk::Models::User.first

    user.admin = true

    user.registered = true

    user.save

Now you will be able to post, comment and invite users.
