This project is a perfect choice for:

• Online education platforms to start teaching Ruby on Rails.
• Individual developers who want a solid foundation for their Rails applications.

• make utility installed (usually comes pre-installed on MacOS and Linux).
• WSL2 (For Windows users) with a Linux distribution (like Ubuntu) is recommended.
