Install Ruby

I installed ruby 2.4.2p198

cd ~
git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git .rbenv
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rubybuild.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/rubybuild echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init )"' >> ~/.bash_profile source ~/.bash_profile
rbenv install v 2.4.2

rbenv global 2.4.2

ruby -v

Install Rails

gem install rails

Configure based on multi_institutional_documentation

{+}https://github.com/sparcrequest/sparcrequest/blob/master/doc/multi_institutional_documentatio+ n.md
I didn't do this, so the email function and single signon functions haven't been set up yet

Install bundle

gem install bundler --no-rdoc --no-ri

Install capybara-webkit 1.14.0

https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/wiki/Installing-Qt-and-compiling-capybara-webkit#centos-7

sudo yum install -y epel-release
sudo yum install -y qt5-qtwebkit-devel
QMAKE=/usr/lib64/qt5/bin/qmake gem install capybarawebkit v 1.14.0 (The default is >= 1.15.0)
echo 'export PATH="/usr/lib64/qt5/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

sudo yum install -y curl-devel

Install curb 0.9.4

gem install curb -v '0.9.4'

Install mysql-devel

sudo yum install -y mysql-devel

Install mysql2 0.4.10

gem install mysql2 -v '0.4.10'

Mkdir /var/www/rails

sudo mkdir /var/www/rails

cd /var/www/rails

Chown permission on /var/www/rails

sudo chown vagrant:vagrant -R /var/www/rails

Git Clone SPARC Request Repository

cd /var/www/rails
git clone https://github.com/sparc-request/sparc-request

Check out v3.3.0

cd sparc-request/
git checkout tags/release-3.3.0 -b uci-local-test

Setup config/database.yml

cd sparc-request
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml

Set the env to be development

RAILS_ENV="development" bundle install

RAILS_ENV="development" rake db:create

RAILS_ENV="development" rake db:migrate

Install Phusion Passenger

gem install passenger

NOTE:Need to install Passenger in a different location that can only be modified by root

Disable selinux

https://linuxhint.com/how-to-disable-selinux-on-centos-7/

Install the Passenger Apache Module

passenger-install-apache2-module

Press enter

Press enter

Ctrl-c
chmod o+x ~

Rerun the passenger-install-apache2-module

Add these lines to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Create a virtual host entry for the application

http://seagullproject.org/Installation/SettingUpApacheVirtualHosts.html

This is not working with SPARCRequest (port is taken error), which needs to be fixed later

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerNamelocalhost

DocumentRoot/var/www/rails/sparcrequest/public
<Directory /var/www/rails/sparcrequest/public> Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride all
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
sudo systemctl restart httpd

Depending on your settings you may need to chmod the application directory ( I had to chmod R 777 the directory to get write permissions for log and cache files to work with apache)
