- Rails Version 2.3.4 - SQLite3 or MySQL for database and necessary gem - A PayPal business account to accept online pre-pay (_optional_) 

1. Clone the repository or unzip a downloaded archive

2. Create your database and update config/database.yml accordingly

3. Set up ActionMailer in your config/environments/production.rb (or development) file:

    ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings ={:address => "servername.domain.com", :port => 25, :domain => "domain.com", :authentication => :login, :user_name => "login", :password => "password" 

4. Run rake db:migrate

5. CHMOD the public/uploads directory to allow for read/write access

6. If you want to use the tournaments module, you will want to have some game data inserted. Use the rake task rake lanrails:insert_game_info to do this for you. If you want to add more games, insert them directly into the games table. There is no interface for adding or removing games.

7. Start up the server as you usually would (mongrel, script/server, etc.)

8. Register a new account

9. From the command line run rake lanrails:make_admin user_name='<YOUR USER NAME>' to make your account an admin

10. Log-in and have fun!
