I got my application running on ubuntu. Here are my notes:

Prerequisites:

• rvm installed with ruby 2.0.0
• bundler installed
• postgres installed

Switch to ruby 2.0.0 and install gems:

rvm use 2.0.0
bundle install

Create a postgres user (with db create permissions but no user create permissions):

  sudo -u postgres createuser -d -A -P username

Resources for postgres on ubuntu:

• https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL
• http://www.davidpashley.com/articles/postgresql-user-administration/

Setup the database credentials for the application:

• Create a folder named "secure" outside of rails root
• Copy config/database.yml to /secure/database.yml
• Configure the database.yml with your database name, user name and password

Database setup (develpment and test):

bundle exec rake db:create
bundle exec rake db:schema:load
RAILS_ENV=test  bundle exec rake db:schema:load

Run the tests:

  bundle exec cucumber features
  bundle exec rspec spec
