What: healthcare.gov website
On: Ubuntu / VirtualBox
Why: Why not?
The Doing: A few easy steps
Get the source
https://github.com/Conservatory/healthcare.gov-2013-10-01Follow the build instructions in the README.md file.
Setup the environment
VirtualBox
VirtualBox 4.2.18
VirtualBox 4.3.0
Don't forget to install the guest additions.
Ubuntu
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
? Ubuntu 13.10
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
This version was just right. All the Gems and Ruby on Rails installed without a peep. This was left out of the readme instructions
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev
Now wait a little while after
jekyll serve
Then in the web browser go to this URL:
http://localhost:4000
I wasn't getting the web site but then I noticed that I had typed 4400 instead of 4000.
Enjoy!

gem install bundler
will keep complaining about zlib being incompatible or whatnot. Just move on to a more recent or at least an LTS version of Ubuntu. No need to suffer inst. hell.
? Ubuntu 13.10 Didn't try this yet.
