RubyMine is a good IDE for working with Canvas LMS. I know that some of the Instructure engineers have used RubyMine when developing Canvas. Most of the other engineers use a text editor and the command line to do everything. And, of course, a browser is involved at some point along the way (usually Google Chrome).

As for setting up Canvas LMS to run on your desktop, I would point you at the Canvas LMS Quick Start Guide: https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms/wiki/Quick-Start

  • Thanks Mark, I was able to do this on my local system by following Quick-start. Also I was able to open the source code in Ruby mine. But I was unable to run this code from Ruby mine like a local application for debugging. – Vinay Jan 24 '15 at 16:51
  • @Vinay glad I could help. Hope it goes well. – Mark Suman Jan 26 '15 at 16:28
