Title: Updated README with installation instructions based on test-run

I’ve re-written some of the installation instructions to better reflect existing resources we have for Ruby and PostgreSQL, and to highlight a few gotchas I’ve encountered along the way while testing installation on Ubuntu 14.04 Linux.

I am unable to proceed past the final `bundle` step:

```
$ bundle exec rake council_districts:load

CouncilDistrict Load (1.2ms) SELECT "council_districts".* FROM "council_districts"
File contains 6 records
rake aborted!
