Running your own (on Heroku)

Just do this:

$ git clone https://github.com/hotsh/rstat.us.git
$ cd rstat.us
$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master

Bam!

This is nowhere near done. Jump on Freenode and ping 'steveklabnik' if you want to contribute in some way.

Running a local copy

You need MongoDB (www.mongodb.org). On Mac OSX, I had to unzip the tarball and do the following:

$ cd mongodb-osx-x86_64-1.8.0
$ sudo mkdir /data && sudo mkdir /data/db
$ sudo bin/mongod

Then do the same as above:

$ git clone https://github.com/hotsh/rstat.us.git (or your own fork, if applicable)
$ cd rstat.us

But instead of using heroku, run it with sinatra:

$ gem install bundler && bundle install
$ rackup
