Running Fat Free CRM as a Rails Engine

Run the Fat Free CRM gem within a separate Rails application. This is the best way to deploy Fat Free CRM if you need to add plugins or make any customizations.

Upgrading from previous versions of Fat Free CRM

If you are upgrading from version 0.10.1 or below to the latest Rails 3.x version, your database schema needs to be updated.

Please run the following commands in this order:

bundle install --without heroku   # Installs gem dependencies
rake ffcrm:upgrade:schema         # Updates your schema to use the new timestamped migrations
rake db:migrate                   # Runs any new database migrations.
