# Problems Bank

Problems Bank allows the posting of various problems with attachments

## Setup

Make sure your environment variables for AWS are stored. This lets you talk to the AWS account.

The required variables are ‘AWS_PROBLEM_KEY_ID`, `AWS_PROBLEM_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, and `AWS_PROBLEM_BUCKET`. These are held by the client.

They can be set on a UNIX system with ‘export AWS_PROBLEM_KEY_ID=XXXX` and so on… These must be added over again on a new terminal session.

## Running Problems Bank

• First, you must ‘bundle install` if there are any errors, it usually has to do with your system not having postgres or another tool. A Google search and a `brew install` on a Mac or a `apt-get` on Linux will usually help.

• Set up the database with ‘rake db:migrate` and `rake db:reset`

• Search is powered by [sunspot](github.com/sunspot/sunspot). Before running the rails app, you need to start up sunspopt with ‘rake sunspot:solr:start`.

• Now start the rails app with ‘rails server`
