cd tracks
bundle install
rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
rake tmp:create
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
Next, we need to configure the Tracks database. Run the following command in the terminal:
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
Then, open the database.yml file in your favorite text editor and update the username and password fields with your MySQL username and password. Save the file and close the editor.
