Currently we have a basic rails app up and running with a small sample dataset of Craigslist postings.
The purpose of the app is to search housing listings in the Boston area to find discriminatory postings.
If you wish to contribute to the project please read this README and follow the getting started instructions.
- Join the discriminatory housing channel in Slack by selecting Channels and searching for
#discriminatoryhousing. You should have already joined the Code for Boston slack channel as directed by the new members set up. If you have not done that already do that. - Follow the instructions at install Rails to get Rails working on your local machine. Make sure to install RVM.
- Clone the repo to your directory.
- Set up and populate database
$ rails db:migrate
$ python assets/upload_to_local_db.py 1000
$ rake db:seed
$ rake classify_listings:initial_set
