This is an installer for Rails applications. It's designed to allow users to
install Rails apps onto their own systems with a minimum amount of effort.

This installer was originally part of Typo (http://typosphere.org).

= Adding the installer to your Rails app

To add the installer to your application, copy the `installer` file from the
examples directory into your project's `bin` directory, and rename it to match
your application name. For example, Typo's installer lives in `bin/typo`. Then
modify your installer as needed, customizing the application name, support
address, and required Rails version. Once this is complete, create an
`installer` directory for your app and copy
`examples/rails_installer_defaults.yml` into it. You can probably use it
unchanged.

You should now be able to test the installer like this:

    $ ruby ./bin/my_installer install /tmp/foo cwd

This will try to install your app in `/tmp/foo` using the current directory as
a template.  If you leave off the `cwd` option at the end, then the installer will look for the most recent Ruby GEM for your app, using the `application_name` line from the installer as the gem name.
