## Usage
This is a fork of fat free crm, as the original project was a little quiet.
To use this; simply add to your Gemfile
```
gem 'reduced_fat_crm', require: 'fat_free_crm'
```
in place of your previous fat_free_crm verison.
## System Requirements
* Ruby 2.3+ recommended
* MySQL v4.1.1 or later (v5+ is recommended), SQLite v3.4 or later, or Postgres 8.4.8 or later.
* ImageMagick (optional, only needed if you would like to use avatars)
(Ruby on Rails and other gem dependencies will be installed automatically by Bundler.)
## Installation
Please view one of the following installation guides:
### [Setup Linux or Mac OS](http://guides.fatfreecrm.com/Setup-Linux-or-Mac-OS.html)

## For Developers
Fat Free CRM is released under the MIT license and is freely available for you to use for your own purposes. We do encourage contributions to make Fat Free CRM even better. Send us a pull-request and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.
Specific features that are not 'Fat Free' in nature, can be added by creating Rails Engines. See the [wiki](http://github.com/fatfreecrm/fat_free_crm/wiki) for information on how to do this.
Tests can easily be run by typing 'rake' but please note that they do take a while to run! Alternatively, you can see the test build status over at our [travis page](http://travis-ci.org/fatfreecrm/fat_free_crm)
