# Installation

Get started in minutes.


##Install the gem

- Add in your Gemfile `gem "rorvswild"`.  
- Run `bundle install` in you terminal.  
- Restart your local server.

You should see a small button in the bottom left corner of your page.

This is all you need to do to monitor your local environment requests.

##Add your API key

To monitor your production or staging environment, you need an API key.
Signup and create an app to get one.

Once the gem installed:

- Run `rorvswild-install YOUR_API_KEY` in you terminal. It will generate a `config/rorvswild.yml` file.
- Deploy/Restart your app.  

Make a few requests and refresh your app page on rorvswild.com to view the dashboard.

If you prefer to use an initializer, you can do the following:

```ruby
# config/initializers/rorvswild.rb
RorVsWild.start(api_key: YOUR_API_KEY)
```

##Add unlimited applications
You can monitor unlimited apps on rorvswild.com with the same account. Each application and environment will have its own dashboard.

If you want to monitor another environment, such as your staging server, create a new application on RoRvsWild, and edit your `config/rorvswild.yml` to add the API key.

If you want to monitor another Rails application, install the gem, create a new application on RoRvsWild, and add your API key.

Rinse and repeat.

##Troubleshoot
In case there is no data in the dashboard, you can run `RorVsWild.check` in a rails console.
