Discussion on: dev.to open source help/discussion thread (v0)

Are you using a Ruby version manager?

As far as I know, I have not because I'm not a Rubyish person, but I can check once I get home. I knew I brew installed it and would have installed it way back when for brew (since I'm pretty sure brew runs on ruby) but otherwise I don't recall ever doing anything with ruby.

What sort of issues are you having right now with it?

Right now, nothing, since I was eventually able to get local dev.to up and running to get my screenshots for my PR :) Originally, though, since I was only installing it to use dev.to, I didn't:

1. have it installed (ended up installing it outside of the recommended path since I was trying to solve ruby errors rather than continue reading the readme and find what I skipped over)
2. have it running (lots of googling eventually found me to where a blog somewhere listed the command to run it)
3. or how to access it (I loved the seed data scripts but wanted to add a user with specific data to hit my cases... I ended up setting up Github integration to use myself, but eventually figured out how to list known databases and then I could use RubyMine's built-in db handling to modify local data)

Like, reading the section of hey install this stuff didn't really click with me to actually run the database and that it was not a part of the bin scripts.
