Something like this will start it on your local machine, assuming you have the various pre-requisites installed (ruby 1.9.3, rvm, postgis 2.1, etc.)

caleb@krige:~$ bash --login
caleb@krige:~$ rvm use 1.9.3
Using /home/caleb/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392
caleb@krige:~$ cd Checkouts/fallingfruit-webapp/
caleb@krige:~$ cp config/database.yml.dist config/database.yml
caleB@krige:~$ cp config/initializers/secret_token.rb.example config/initializers/secret_token.rb
caleb@krige:~/Checkouts/fallingfruit-webapp$ bundle install
caleb@krige:~/Checkouts/fallingfruit-webapp$ bundle exec rake db:migrate
caleb@krige:~/Checkouts/fallingfruit-webapp$ bundle exec thin start

You’ll want to change config/database.yml and config/intializers/secret_token.rb too.
