We're attempting to download and run the CartoDB stack on an Ubuntu Amazon EC2 instance dedicated just for it. So we've begun from a bare bones OS install.

We've gone through the install/configure README (https://github.com/CartoDB/cartodb) and got through most of it without too much of an issue. But when it comes time to figuring out how to actually run the thing, we're at a loss. The readme doesn't even seem to explain how you're supposed to run the stack perpetually as a service, or even as separate components side-by-side.

The closest it seems to come is suggesting foreman but even that has come to a convoluted cluster**** of dependency issues to where I can't even add it to the gem bundle as described (and it doesn't help none of us have Ruby experience)

Anyway, before I avoid punching a hole in a wall and step away for a bit, I thought I'd see if the community has any pointers on where to go from here. Even Google is utterly failing me at this point.

Thanks
