There's a few things to note while setting up this repo:

Firstly, Are you using Windows, Mac or Linux?

If you're a Mac, things get a bit difficult - but fear not! - for the Terminal is here!
You're Terminal is a very stupid stupid buddy, think Patrick from Spongebob.

We'll be using ruby 1.9.3 and rails 3.x.x

[http://railsapps.github.io/installing-rails.html] rails installation for mac

Have yourself install the following:

1. rvm: $ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
2. ruby 1.9.3:
   $ rvm get stable --autolibs=enable
$ rvm install ruby
$ rvm --default use ruby-2.0.0-p247


Then install

[kithokit]

not recommend you to use ruby 2.0, as there will be some difference between 1.9.3

[denistsoi]

Do NOT use 2.0?

I've also noticed that this build was meant for linux -

[kithokit]

not necessary for linux, as RoR is a cross platform application indeed.

the default is using ruby 1.9.3 , better use ruby 1.9 install of 2.0

both linux and mac are *nix-based. There may be some native library are not the same but basically both should be able to setup

I did using mac setting up successfully, just using sqlite3 as my local db server

[denistsoi]

I know RoR is cross platform - however, there are dependancies which flag errors with Windows & Mac OSX

So I should be using ruby 1.9 with rails 2.0? or just ruby 1.9?

the rails installation is included in the Gemfile already. what you need is that

go to the project of the root directory

cd ~/Opendata

rvm gemset create opendata (create a gemset)
rvm use ruby-1.9.3-pxxx (there may be varies version of ruby 1.9.3)
bundle install (it will help install everything including rails)

[denistsoi]

Did that already Kit, the rails server command is failing to build~ (ill update later)

Did you bundle install complete successfully without any error then?
