You can use vagrant to fire up a development VM with all the neccessary dependencies within. You will get a ready to launch environment (rvm, ruby, bundled gems will be deployed via puppet).
Just run vagrant up. Once the VM is running, you can ssh into it via vagrant ssh. The app and code can be found in /vagrant, which is shared between your host and the VM.
To finish the development setup, in /vagrant run padrino rake ar:setup to create, migrate, and seed the database. Then run padrino s to start a padrino development server on port 3000, which vagrant forwards to your host's port 3000. You can access the new Hacktouch site at http://localhost:3000.
padrino --help inside the /vagrant directory will tell you good things. padrino c is handy.
