# 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
```
