For development and testing there is a dummy rails app located under spec/dummy.

To set it up you first have to copy over the spec/dummy/config/database.yml.template and modify it to your own settings.

cp spec/dummy/config/database.yml.template spec/dummy/config/database.yml

Executing locationer:install rake task will copy over the migrations to the dummy app, run db:migrate and imports the location data from the US.csv and Mexico.csv files:

cd spec/dummy

bundle install

bundle exec rake locationer:install

To setup the dummy test db for testing run this:

bundle exec db:test:prepare

You now be able to enter the rails console in the dummy app.
