Enter the following command in your command prompt:

gem install dashing

Once it's installed, we can go straight ahead and create our dashboard. Dashing has a built-in function to create a skeleton application for us to work with and will also give you some example code to look at. Navigate to your projects folder and issue the following command:

dashing new puppetdash

After running the command, you should have a new directory called puppetdash, which contains your new skeleton application. We now only have to complete one more step, which is to instruct the Bundler package manager to download and install the required libraries for Bundler. Ensure that you're in the root of your new project and then issue the following command:

bundle install
