The bitnami.com install downloaded quickly and worked immediately. I ran their installer and discourse was up and running right away. I named the site, gave my email and password, and that was it. This is from their README
Bitnami Discourse Stack ships with the following software versions:
- Discourse 1.4.6
- Apache 2.4.18
- PostgreSQL 9.4.6
- Ruby 2.1.8
- Rails 4.2.5.1
- RubyGems 1.8.12
I want to look at discourse and see if I can use it for my image heavy web site. Someone said I’d need to write a plug in so I thought I’d look at doing that.
