The easiest way to test it, is on a linux server that can be accessed from the internet.

Install git if you don’t have it yet.Then do:

git clone git://github.com/Sjors/ted-marathon-facebook-app.git

To test it, you simply run:

script/server

and that will run the application on port 3000. But first, you will need to configure some things.

Create a new Facebook application:

http://www.facebook.com/developers/editapp.php?new

The most important thing is the Callback URL, which will for now be:

http://yourserver.com:3000/

You should receive an API key and a secret key.

Now go to the config directory and do:

cp database.yml.example database.yml
cp facebooker.yml.example facebooker.yml

You need to make a few changes to facebooker.yml, to make it look something like this:

development:
api_key: .............
secret_key: .............
canvas_page_name: tedxbrazil
callback_url: http://yourserver.com:3000

First time you run the application, you need to initialize the database and it needs to download the list of TED talks, like so:

rake db:migrate
rake ted:initial_import

You should now be able to run the server with:

script/server

And then surf to:

http://apps.facebook.com/tedxbrazil/
