Now we need to install Ruby Gems which are the package manager for Ruby. Run the following command.
sudo gem install bundler
Clone the OSEM Git repository from GitHub by running the following command.

Now we need to install OSEM. Change the directory to OSEM and run the following command.
cd osem && bundle install --without postgresql mysql
OSEM uses environment variables for configuration. Copy the sample configuration file and edit it according to your needs.
cp config/application.yml.sample config/application.yml
Edit the application.yml file to configure OSEM according to your needs.
Finally, start OSEM by running the following command.
