Mission: Create tools that support the work of all NGOs and grassroots organizers, and empower people to change their world.

Installing

Quick Setup

If you're already familiar with ruby and have rvm/rbenv/direnv/etc, this project is pretty much set up to work from a fresh checkout:

git clone https://github.com/activate/ActivateHub.git
cd ActivateHub
bundle install
bundle exec rake db:setup # same as bundle exec rake db:create db:seed
bundle exec rails server -blocalhost

There are additional things you can set up, such as switching from SQLite to PostgreSQL, setting up multi-tenancy, obtaining a Google API key for displaying maps, a DISQUS key for testing comments, etc.

Some of these feature are currently undocumented, see: #66.
