These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

current version of NVM
Node 20.14.0
Ruby Version 3.3.3
SQLite 3

This project uses nvm (Node Version Manager) to manage Node.js versions. The .nvmrc file is configured to use Node version 20.14.0.

When running locally, you will need to set the node version with nvm use as described below under "Installation".
For deployment, the .nvmrc file will be used to set the node version and the deployment script will automatically use the correct version.

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/uclibs/aaec.git ./path/to/local
2. Change to the application's directory: e.g. cd ./path/to/local
3. Make sure you are on the qa branch: git checkout qa
4. Install the node version listed in .nvmrc: nvm install
5. Direct to the correct node version listed in .nvmrc: nvm use
6. Install bundler (if needed): gem install bundler
7. Run bundler: bundle install
8. Run the database migrations: bundle exec rails db:migrate
9. To include the colleges at UC, seed the database: bundle exec rails db:seed
10. Start the rails server: bundle exec rails server
11. Visit the site at [http://localhost:3000] (http://localhost:3000)

1. Run the database migrations if you haven't already: bundle exec rails db:migrate
2. Run the test suite: bundle exec rspec

While this repository includes a yarn.lock file, you do not need to run yarn install to use the program. The application is fully operational with bundle install alone, which manages all necessary Ruby dependencies.
