    - Install the version specified in [`.ruby-version`](.ruby-version).
    - Visit the [Install Ruby on Rails](https://gorails.com/setup/osx/12-monterey) guide by GoRails for Ubuntu, Windows, and macOSX setup. ⚠️ Follow only the Installing Ruby step, as our project setup differs ⚠️ It is highly recommended you use a ruby version manager such as [rbenv](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv), [asdf](https://asdf-vm.com/), or [rvm](https://rvm.io/).
    - Verify that your Ruby installation works by running `ruby -v`.
 2. Install Postgres
    - Follow one of these guides: [MacOSX](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-postgresql-with-your-ruby-on-rails-application-on-macos), [Ubuntu](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-postgresql-with-your-ruby-on-rails-application-on-ubuntu-18-04).
