        host: localhost
        port: 5432
        username: scumblr
        password: scumblr
        database: scumblr_dev
        pool: 5
        timeout: 5000

2. Create the database

rake db:create
rake db:structure:load

Initial Setup

user = User.new
user.email = "<Valid email address>"
user.password = "<Password>"
user.password_confirmation = "<Password>"
