Installation and configuration

###Installation

You will need:

• A registered GitHub app
• The GitHub client ID and secret
• The usernames of GitHub users who are allowed to administer Appcaster

These settings can be placed in the config/development.js file for local development.

For production, you will have to set environmental variables. On Heroku you can use heroku config:set. The following environmental variables are expected:

• AC_ROOT_URL: The URL of your server.
• AC_DATABASE_URL: The connection string for your postgres server.
• AC_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID: Your GitHub application client ID.
• AC_GITHUB_CALLBACK_URL: Your GitHub application callback URL.
• AC_GITHUB_SECRET: Your GitHub application's secret.
• AC_GITHUB_USERS: A comma-separated list of GitHub usernames that have permission to access the Appcaster administration area.

Database

You can seed the database by running the bin/seed script.
