Assumes OSX Yosemite

Fork the repo

Just click here :)

Create projects dir

If necessary, create a directory for software development projects: $: mkdir ~/projects

Clone the repo

Open GitHub for Mac.
- Click the "+" in the upper-left and choose "Clone."
- Find "zone_ranger" and click the "Clone zone_ranger" button.
- Leave the project name as-is ("zone_ranger"). For the folder to clone to, choose your previously-created projects directory.
$: cd [your projects dir, e.g. ~/projects]/zone_ranger

Check the Ruby version

Make sure you are using the correct version of ruby: $: ruby -v
- You should get: ruby 1.8.7 (2012-02-08 MBARI 8/0x6770 on patchlevel 358) [i686-darwin14.3.0], MBARI 0x6770, Ruby Enterprise Edition 2012.02
If not, install rvm or rbenv and try again.
