+h1. Setting up development environment on Ubuntu Hardy
+
+NOTE: this guide is outdated
+
+This guide shows how to get a git clone up and running on Ubuntu Hardy.
+
+First, install some dependencies - I'm using the package manager. Other guides show how to use the ruby gem system instead.
+
+@sudo apt-get install ruby1.8 ruby1.8-dev rake git-core libsqlite3-ruby1.8@
+
+Follow the instructions in "Updating rubygems to 1.3.1":http://intertwingly.net/blog/2008/11/23/RubyGems-1-3-1-on-Ubuntu-8-10 and "fixing gemrunner NameError":http://www.nickpeters.net/2007/12/31/fix-for-uninitialized-constant-gemgemrunner-nameerror/
+
+Now run:
+
+<pre>
+<code>
+sudo gem install rspec
+sudo gem install RedCloth
+</code>
+</pre>
+
+Get the source code with
+
+@git clone git://github.com/bsag/tracks.git@
+
+Now check the "the installation manual":http://www.getontracks.org/doc/chapter/2-installation.html
+
+where you follow the instructions from Configure variables and onwards. I've already selected sqlite3 as database.
+
+h3. Debugging
+
+Install debugger support with:
+
+@sudo gem install ruby-debug@
+
+Start server with
+
+@server --debugger@
+
+Simply insert the @debugger@ statement in the Ruby code to invoke a debugger shell with the current context.
