+  2. Run `git clone git://github.com/calagator/calagator.git` or equivalent, which will create a `calagator` directory with the source code. Go into this directory and run the remaining commands from there.
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+To configure Calagator:
+
+  1. Follow the **Checkout** instructions above.
+  2. Initialize your database, run `rake db:migrate db:test:prepare`
+  3. Optionally add a geocoding key so maps will display, follow the instructions in the checkout at `config/geocoder_api_keys.yml.example` and get the key from http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

+
+
+Customization
+-------------

+
+
+Security
+--------
+
+This application runs with insecure settings by default to make it easy to get started. These default settings include publicly-known cryptography keys that can allow attackers to gain admin privileges to your application. You should create a `config/secrets.yml` file with your secret settings if you intend to run this application on a server that can be accessed by untrusted users, read the [config/secrets.yml.sample](config/secrets.yml.sample) file for details.
+
+
+Production
+----------
+
+Calagator.org runs on [Ubuntu Linux](http://ubuntu.com/), [Phusion REE (Ruby Enterprise Edition)](http://rubyenterpriseedition.com/) and [Phusion Passenger](http://www.modrails.com/).
