h1. Installing latest code 

Latest stable version can be found under the files section

h2. Latest source code

h3. Latest development code

Foreman has now moved to using Rails 3 and Bundler to get up and running. This is the preferred way to get Foreman if you want to benefit from the latest improvements. By using the git repository you can also upgrade more easily. You will need to have Bundler installed manually for now (check your distribution repositories, or install it via rubygems).

to get latest "development" version do:

You will want to make sure that you have one of the mysql-devel, postgresql-devel, and sqlite-devel libraries installed so the database gems can install properly. 

also, you might need ruby-devel and libvirt-dev packages

<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/theforeman/foreman.git -b develop

cd foreman

# must have the bundler gem installed -- gem install bundle

bundle install --without mysql sqlite --path vendor # or postgresql

cp config/settings.yaml.example config/settings.yaml

bundle exec RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate  (to set up database schema)

</code></pre>

You can run Foreman with the command "RAILS_ENV=production rails s"

h3. Latest stable version

The old rails2 version still available under a branch

to get latest "stable" version do:

<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/theforeman/foreman.git -b 0.4-stable

cd foreman

git submodule init

git submodule update

</code></pre>

if you are behind a proxy or firewall and dont have access to github using the git protocol, use http protocol instead (e.g.)

<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/theforeman/foreman.git foreman

cd foreman

sed -i 's/git:\/\//http:\/\//g' .gitmodules

git submodule init

git submodule update

</code></pre>
