Some brief instructions on installation would be useful. I'm working my way through getting this running locally, and I believe that it requires SSL on the development server plus a few other things. So a consolidated set of instructions would be helpful.

SSL installation varies depending on where you're installing it and there are many choices. For SSL, here's one way if you're using Apache on a *nix machine:

For deployment on Heroku, their default SSL works out of the box.

Otherwise its a pretty standard ruby/rails/coffeescript/node project, see those projects for their respective installation instructions.

Thanks henriquez. That was helpful. For reference to anyone looking for info on how to run this locally:

start the Rails development server with thin start --ssl rather than rails s. I didn't bother to change the SSL config and lived with the cert errors.
you need to recreate the database.yml file
the secret_token.rb config is expecting an environment variable. I replaced it with a string.
the omniauth.rb needs to be setup appropriately for the oauth settings in your SFDC org.
