Manual setup on Fedora (36)

Language and runtime version management

In order to manage the required languages and runtime: Ruby, Python and Node.js, we recommend using asdf. See its getting started guide in order to get specific instructions for your SHELL and installation method.

Once installed, use the provided .tool-versions.sample file to get the appropriate versions.

ln -s .tool-versions.sample .tool-versions

Ruby and Node.js

The project supports ruby 2.7.x and Node.js 16. The recommended way to install them is with asdf:

asdf plugin add ruby
asdf plugin add nodejs

asdf install

Alternatively, Node.js can be installed as a Module:

dnf module install nodejs:16

Dependencies

sudo dnf install sphinx chromedriver postgresql-devel gd-devel mysql-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel sqlite-devel readline-devel libyaml-devel libtool libffi-devel bison automake autoconf patch

Database

The application requires a database that can either be PostgreSQL, MySQL or Oracle database. MySQL will be used by default.

MySQL

We recommend running it in a Podman container:

podman run -d -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=true --name mysql80 mysql:8.0

Redis

Redis is an in-memory data store used as DB for some of the data and it has to be running for the application to work. We recommend running it in a Podman container:

podman run -d -p 6379:6379 redis:6.2-alpine

Alternatively, Redis can be run directly on your machine with dnf:

sudo dnf install redis
sudo systemctl restart redis

Memcached

If available, Rails will use Memcached for caching. Installing it is completely optional but still recommended. We recommend running it in a Podman container:

podman run -d -p 11211:11211 memcached

Alternatively, Memcached can be run directly on your machine with dnf:

sudo dnf install memcached
sudo systemctl restart memcached

Rails cache is enabled by default for development. However, it can be switched off by updating config/cache_store.yml:

development:
  - :null_store

Bundler

Ruby gems are managed with Bundler. Install it by running:

gem install bundler

And install all gems:

bundle install

It's possible that eventmachine installation fails. If so, try adding the following config:

bundle config build.eventmachine --with-cppflags="-I/usr/include/openssl/"

Yarn (1.x)

JavaScript packages are managed with Yarn. It is recommended to install it with NPM:

npm install --global yarn

See other ways to install it, such as with dnf, at https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install.

Then install all required packages:

yarn install

Config files

Copy all the default config files to your project's config folder:

cp config/examples/* config/
