# Ruby Resque UI

This directory contains a small ruby project which will run the resque web server. This is contained within the node-resque project so that we can test and confirm that node-resque is interoperable with ruby-resque.

1. **install ruby**

Ensure that you have ruby installed on your system. You can confirm this with `ruby --version`. You can get ruby from [ruby-lang.org](https://www.ruby-lang.org) if you don't have it. OSX comes with ruby, and most linux distributions have a top-level package (i.e.: `apt-get install ruby`)

2. **install bundler**

Bundler is the ruby package manager (think NPM). Ruby uses "gems" (packages), and bundler is a tool that can manage dependencies of a project. A `Gemfile` contains a list of dependancies and a `Gemfile.lock` is like a `npm shinkwrap` output, formally defining gem versions.

Install bundler with `gem install bundler` (the `gem` application is included with ruby)

3. **install the packages**

From within this directory, run `bundle install`. This equivalent to `npm install`

4. **run the application**

The ruby-resque package includes a web interface which can be "mounted" within a number of common ruby web frameworks, like sintatra, ruby-on-rails, etc. I have included the smallest possible application which is a [`rack`](http://rack.github.io/) application. To run this application, type `bundle exec rackup`. Running this command will boot the server on port `9292` (and the CLI will inform you if this changed).

This should only be used in development, as there is no security around this web interface, and you can delete everything.

### TLDR;

```bash
# install ruby
cd ./resque-web
gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec rackup
```
