Quick Start

Getting your Rails application up and running using Bowtie is as simple as following these steps.

1. Tell Bowtie About Your Rails Applications

You need to create a configuration file for Bowtie. Inside this configuration file you will list all your applications, and a few things that Bowtie will need when generating configuration files.

Bowtie has an --example command line option that will produce an example configuration file for you to start with:

bowtie --example > bowtie.conf

Each configuration generator might need to know something specific about your rails applications. Bowtie has a command line option for each generator that will cause it to output documentation for that generator. For example, to see the documentation for the Apache generator:

bowtie --apache

2. Run Bowtie

bowtie bowtie.conf
