Developer setup

If you don't have Ruby installed:

$ \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

This will install the latest RVM and Ruby. Follow all instructions the RVM installer gives you. (This should include sourcing the rvm script.)

If you use gnome-terminal or screen on certain Linux flavors (e.g. Mint), make sure you follow the instructions here: https://rvm.io/integration/gnome-terminal

Determine the Ruby installed by running the following and grabbing the ruby listed (e.g. ruby-2.3.0):

$ rvm list

Now configure a compartmentalized independent Ruby setup for this project (replace ruby-2.3.0 with whatever version of Ruby got installed earlier):

$ rvm --create --ruby-version use ruby-2.3.0@adoptable

Install the gems this project relies on:

$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install

You can easily add custom search jobs--look in the jobs dir for inspiration
