h2. Running
Much of the code included in this example application is concerned with configuration for deploying with various other ruby tools.
h3. Sinatra
Sinatra comes with it's own web server.
h3. Thin
Alternatively you can use an instance of "Thin":http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/.

Then run a few commands to demonstrate everything is in running order.
h2. Testing
So far you run a few very simple tests, either with unittest or with "RSpec":http://rspec.info/.
To run the unit tests simply run:
To run the RSpec tests run:
