Bitcoin Central¶ ↑
Bitcoin Central powers bitcoin-central.net, a bitcoin trading platform. It is :
-
Open Source,
-
Based on Ruby on Rails,
-
Fully localizable,
-
Multi-currency.
Installation¶ ↑
Linux and Windows setup work well, I found the easiest to be an Ubuntu install
Windows¶ ↑
-
Install Ruby and MySQL
-
Install Ruby Development Kit (github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/development-kit)
-
Install rubygems
Linux (Debian flavors)¶ ↑
-
Install required packages
$ sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev libssl-dev irb rubygems mysql
-
Add gem binaries to path and re-login
# First line of /etc/environment should show something like this PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin"
-
Update rubygems if necessary (programmers-blog.com/2009/04/12/ruby-gem-update-system-is-disabled-on-debian)
Common¶ ↑
-
Install rails and bundler
$ sudo gem install rails bundler
-
Fork project if relevant

Install the required gems
$ cd [SOURCE PATH] $ bundle

Log-in to MySQL console and run the following
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON bitcoin-bank_development.* TO 'rails'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'rails';
-
Run a couple of rake tasks
$ rake db:create $ rake db:migrate
-
Edit config/bitcoin.yml to be able to connect your instance to a bitcoin client

Your fresh instance should now be running on localhost:3000/ !
