I use debian, here are the commands I use to setup my machine for parlement:
# apt-get install postgresql
# sudo su - postgres
# createuser /your_login/
# apt-get install ruby
# apt-get install libpgsql-ruby
# apt-get install irb
# apt-get install rdoc

Basically this install postgresql, ruby and the ruby driver to psql. Ruby on
Rails is database agnostic, parlement will be sometimes in the near future.

You need to install "ruby gems":http://docs.rubygems.org

And then:
# gem install rails
# gem install redcloth

Only if you expect to develop and do any release:
# gem install meta_project


The database is setup for user "manu", you may need to change the file
config/database.yml for your own settings.

Change config/environment.rb to set the domain, default is something like
'leparlement.org', use your web site or email domain.

When you want to setup your server as a node in the graph of servers, redirect
your incoming mails to *your* parlement. In procmail (or any other mail
filtering tool), define this kind of rule:
	:0 c
	* ^TO parlement|leparlement.org
	| /home/manu/parlement/trunk/script/runner 'Mailman.receive STDIN.read'


Once you have everything set up (ruby, postgresql, redcloth, irb), you can
initialise and launch parlement this way:

Go into the right folder
~ cd parlement/trunk

Create the db
~ psql -q template1 -f db/schema.sql

Populate the db
~ ruby lib/data_import.rb

Migrate the db to its last version
~ rake migrate

Launch the developement web server
~ ruby ./script/server

Now you can go to http://localhost:3000 with your browser.

You can check that everything works all right on your machine with the testing suite:
~ rake
