If you want to contribute, please first read our Contributing Guidelines and then we suggest you to use the Vagrant virtual machine project to get an environment working sandboxed and with all dependencies.

  1. Start it with Foreman in development mode

     bundle exec foreman start -p 3000
    

or start it manually

    bundle exec rails s
    bundle exec rake sidekiq:start
