#Run In Bash Terminal/CLI
rails new appname -m http://neo4jrb.io/neo4j/neo4j.rb -O
cd appname
rake neo4j:install[community-latest]
rake neo4j:start

#now that you have neo4j installed go to localhost:7474 in a browser and create a new user for the app. 
#the default credentials are formatted as user:password = neo4j:neo4j 
#to securely use neo4j you must set up your own. (use in application.rb with a private repo or as ENV variable)

#now it's back to your Terminal/CLI, run the following to create a user for your app:
rails generate scaffold User name:string email:string

#run the following to create additional app models/scaffolds. (rails g is short syntax for rails generate, rails s for rails server)
rails g scaffold (insert any additional model scaffold here)
rails neo4j:migrate RAILS_ENV=development
rails s
open localhost:3000

#create a git repository for your appname at github.com with your github_username
git init
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/github_username/appname.git
git push -u origin master
