Rails Setup on Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo

Around this time last year we soft released our first version of Rivet, a marketplace designed to find and activate resources for the development of creative practices.Being the tiniest of startups, our entire budget went into this launch. So with no resources to build anything else, I asked our developer, the amazing Francis Tseng, to teach me how to setup a local development environment so that I could a) make copy edits to our html templates and b) try to understand how the system works with the (at the time) far fetched idea that one day I could maintain the product and even build new features.The first challenge was to get my hands on a Unix based operating system. This meant I either had to setup a Linux distro via a Virtual Machine on my Windows machine, or just wipe the hard drive and go full Linux.
