Play a multiplayer game.

Setup

You can use the following commands to run the application:

• rails s: run the backend on http://localhost:3000
• npm start --prefix client: run the frontend on http://localhost:4000

Install Postgresql

sudo apt update
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev

Then confirm that Postgres was installed successfully:

psql --version

Run this command to start the Postgres service:

sudo service postgresql start

Finally, you'll also need to create a database user so that you are able to connect to the database from Rails. First, check what your operating system username is:

whoami

If your username is "ian", for example, you'd need to create a Postgres user with that same name. To do so, run this command to open the Postgres CLI:

sudo -u postgres -i

From the Postgres CLI, run this command (replacing "ian" with your username):

createuser -sr ian

Then enter control + d or type logout to exit.

This guide has more info on setting up Postgres on WSL if you get stuck.

Install Redis

In my blog post, I cover how to set up Redis: https://medium.com/@loveablessing/rails-6-action-cable-with-react-a11a36d927cd.
