    chmod o-rwx config/database.yml

#### Install Gems

#### Initialize Database

    $ bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

#### Compile Assets

    $ bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production

#### Run the server

    # Production mode:
    $ mkdir -p ./tmp/sockets/
    $ bundle exec unicorn -E production -l unix:./tmp/sockets/justask.sock

    $ bundle exec rails server

Create an account on your justask installation.

To make yourself an admin, just execute:

    $ bundle exec rake 'justask:admin[your_username]' RAILS_ENV=production

If you want to remove admin status from a certain user, you can do this:
