#posty_API

The posty_API is the core element of the posty softwarestack. It is developed to administrate a mailserver based on Postfix and Dovecot. It offers an easy REST interface which can be used in own applications or with the posty client applications, posty_CLI and posty_webUI.

You need a working ruby installation.

Tested with ruby 2.1.8, 2.2.4, 2.3.0

1. Download the source either using git or from the GitHub page as archive.
2. Extract the archive
3. Change directory to the extracted folder
4. Copy config/database.mysql2.yml or config/database.postgresql.yml to config/database.yml and change it to your needs.
5. Run bundle install --with mysql for MySQL or bundle install --with postgresql for PostgreSQL
6. Run rake db:migrate
