Starting a new Slices project

Slices requires Ruby, MongoDB and ImageMagick. If you don't have them installed, follow this guide before beginning.

We'll need to checkout the Slices project, install the relevant gems using Bundler and use a Rails template to create the new project:

$ cd ~/Projects     # or wherever you store git repositories
$ git clone git@github.com:withassociates/slices.git
$ cd slices
$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install

Or if you have Slices already installed:

$ cd ~/Projects/slices  # or wherever you store git repositories
$ git pull
$ bundle install

Now we're ready to create the Slices project:

$ cd ~/Projects
$ gem install rails -v '~> 3.2.0'
$ rails new mywebsite -JOT -m ~/Projects/slices/lib/generators/templates/slices.rb

At the end of this process we should have a new Slices project with a git repository created, gems installed, database seeded and ready to run:

$ cd ~/Projects/mywebsite
$ foreman start

Visit http://localhost:5000/admin to begin using Slices.

The next step is to create some slices - there are more guides in the Wiki.
