Instructions for installation on different OSs:
If you're on Windows, our condolences. Docker or C9 is probably your best option, however there are a variety of ways to install Ubuntu while keeping your Windows OS intact if you are willing.
Update: Windows 10 is beta testing a Linux subsystem. Find out how to install at gorails. Please keep in mind it is still in beta as of this writing.
We also have some collected notes on issues encountered during install
Please start by creating an Application.yml file
Independently of which platform you are developing on, please create a file named config/application.yml and add the following line:
DOIT_HOST: 'http://api.qa2.do-it.org/v2'
In order for the Google Map to function locally you should also need to add the following to config/application.yml (which does not get checked in):
GMAP_API_KEY: <YOUR KEY>
You can create a google maps key here:

Note: for some people the map seems to function fine without the above setting
Feature flags, are automatically activated when you run rake db:seed.
