Zero to Playing Poker

0. Download this repository

1. Install Ruby (>= 1.9.2)

   • On Windows, go to http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ and install:
     1. Ruby 2.1.6
        • Ensure that the "Add Ruby executables to your PATH" is selected during installation so you can run the gem and bundle later.
     2. The corresponding DevKit
        • Follow these Quick Start instructions.

2. Install Bundler, gem install bundler

3. Install gems, bundle install in project root)

4. Install cookbooks, librarian-chef install

5. Start the virtual machine, vagrant up

   • This step could take tens of minutes
   • If connecting to the VM times out, but you can still manually connect to it afterwards, then run vagrant halt and vagrant up or vagrant reload. This occurred for me on Windows and vagrant was able to complete the VM setup after restarting.

6. Log in to the virtual machine, vagrant ssh on Linux or OSX, PuTTY on Windows

   • On Windows, you can try vagrant ssh first, but if that fails, follow these instructions. Afterwards, you should be apply to access the VM from PuTTY or vagrant ssh.

7. Navigate to shared project directory, cd /vagrant/repositories/acpc_poker_gui_client

8. In most cases, you will want to use v1.2 since the previous versions are quite old. The rest of the instructions assume v1.2. Run git checkout v1.2 to do this.

9. Install gems, bundle install

10. Compile the ACPC server project, bundle exec acpc_dealer compile

11. Modify config/overlord.yml to be:

    redis: redis-server config/redis.conf
    tm-server: bundle exec acpc_table_manager -t config/acpc_table_manager.yml

12. Run script/start_daemons to start the table manager.

13. Start the Rails server, bundle exec rails s

14. Point your browser to localhost:3000, and you should see the match start screen. You should now be able to start a match. If that succeeds, congratulations, you've completed the set up!
