  1. Step 1. Rails and EzCrypto

    We'll assume you're familiar with Ruby, Ruby on Rails and RubyGems, and already have a Rails app ready to go. 

    sudo gem install ezcrypto

  2. Step 2. Install the activeconference plugin

    This plugin provides the ActiveResource-based models you'll need to interface with our API. 

    git clone git://github.com/activeconference/rails_plugin.git vendor/plugins/active_conference

  3. Step 3. Get an activeconference API key

    You need an API key to use activeconference. We use these keys to track API usage and for you to manage multiple applications and billing.

  4. Step 4. Configure the plugin

    Set your API keys in config/initializers/active_conference.rb

    ActiveConference::Resource.api_key = '12345'
ActiveConference::Resource.api_secret = '67890'

  5. Step 5. Call yourself and a friend

    c = ActiveConference::Conference.create
c.participants.create(:phone_number => '12125551234', :is_leader => true)
c.participants.create(:phone_number => '12125559999')
