This project is built using Ruby on Rails Framework.

1. First clone this repository and cd into it.

   $ git clone git://github.com/TwilioDevEd/account-verification-rails.git
   $ cd account-verification-rails

2. Install the dependencies.

   $ bundle install

3. Copy the .env.example file to .env, and edit it including your credentials for the Twilio API (found at https://www.twilio.com/console/account/settings) and your Authy API Key (found at https://dashboard.authy.com/). You will also need a Twilio Number.

   Run source .env to export the environment variables.
