# Setup I like to use Rails with postgres a lot, this is how to make a new Rails project with Postgres as the default database adapter: ``` rails new myapp --database=postgresql ``` In some cases I use Rails without ActiveRecord (e.g. [mongoid](https://github.com/mongodb/mongoid) for [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/), like so: ``` rails new myapp --skip-active-record ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://wiki.omar.engineer/programming-languages/ruby/ruby-on-rails/setup.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
