The values in this file are required to interact with Xively, but some value for each environment variable is required to boot the app locally, so initially just create the file with dummy contents. Note that this means your local app won't be able to actually interact with Xively, but you will be able to view the AQE site running locally.
gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec foreman start
Visit http://localhost:4567, and you should see a version of the AQE website running locally on your machine.
bundle exec rake
foreman run bundle exec rake ckan:airnow:update # takes about 45 minutes
foreman run bundle exec rake ckan:airqualityeggs:update # takes about 10 minutes for 1,000 eggs
foreman run bundle exec rake ckan:airqualityeggs:update # takes about 10 seconds for 5 sites
heroku pg:reset DATABASE_URL
heroku pg:push postgres://localhost/airquality DATABASE_URL
Be sure to restart heroku after this as the database socket connection will need to be re-initialized
# run airnow on even hours and airqualityeggs updates on odd hours

Virtual machine/AWS EC2 full image backups are always a good idea in addition to the following:
