Install Ringo

Firstly, you're going to need to have Xcode installed on your Mac. Once you have that installed you're going to need the Xcode command line tools, which allow Ringo to interface with Xcode easily. Type the following into your command line to install them:

$ xcode-select --install

Clone the repository and navigate to your local copy of the build server:

$ git clone https://www.github.com/gmittal/ringo.git && cd ringo

Install the various packages and dependencies:

$ npm install && brew install wget && gem install nomad-cli

You're also going to need to populate your environment variables (stored in a .env file) with some important information. For now, Ringo uses Appetize to run your iOS apps in an in-browser simulator. That does require an API key, but they are free and easy to get ahold of.

APPETIZE_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Once all of that is complete, it should be fairly easy to get the server running:

$ node app.js

The server should spit out an ngrok localhost tunnel which should allow you to access the server externally, allowing you to get up and running with hacking it.

Check out the docs for more information on getting started with using Ringo's API.
