Readme could do with a bit more info

[remy]

Obviously there's a hidden prerequisite that you should know Ruby, but alas I do not. But very interested in the project for my own purposes (I run a few events and I'd like to get a general feel for the gender divide).

So, I clone this project, and as per the readme, run "ruby app.rb" and I get

» ruby app.rb
app.rb:3:in `require': no such file to load -- sinatra (LoadError)
    from app.rb:3

Any chance of adding the missing steps before (I tried doing sudo gem install bundler; bundler install but that failed too - I can add the error, but I might be barking up the wrong ruby covered tree).

Cheers.

Sorry about that. This was made during a session in mozfest. I will add more info to the README.

You need to do

bundle install

before running the app to install the required libraries. There is a few webservices that need more code that is not in the repository because we need to look into the license of it.

[remy]

This is what I got when I ran bundle install:

» bundle install

Resolving dependencies...
Could not find gem 'yaml (>= 0) ruby' in the gems available on this machine.

Not really sure where to go from there. (I did also, beforehand, run sudo gem install bundler).

[gabelula]

I pushed a new Gemfile. Please pull the code from here again into your code. What is your user case exactly?

[remy]

My use case is that I run two conferences, and I'd like to use this to get a general idea of gender divide (if there is one...which let's be honest, it's a tech event, it's highly likely).

[remy]

Got a bit further:

[gabelula]

Can you type this command to see which gems you have installed?

gem list --local

[remy]

Result:

[gabelula]

mmm. Not sure. It seems you already have the gem installed. Can you try to type this?

     irb

you will get a console and then you can look at the library with this:

      require 'sinatra'

[remy]

» irb
>> require 'sinatra'
=> true

[gabelula]

well. No clue. Try to run the app again.

Hi Remy,

Thanks so much for your interest! For now, send me your list of names at natematias@gmail.com, and I'll gladly do a rough analysis for you. gender-api, which was created in a few days at a hack day, is the least well developed part of the Open Gender Tracker project, and we'll be improving it over the next few weeks. I'm delighted in your interest and look forward to doing what I can to help you out!
