Installation & Running locally

The project has some native (gyp) dependencies. To get this running, please make sure your environment it set with the following:

Make sure to install a Node version manager (either fnm or nvm)
Point your environment to the version specified in .nvmrc.
Make sure to load .env to your environment variables (some shell loads it automatically, but if not, you can do: source .env to load it)

You can run a local instance of How to GraphQL by executing the following commands in a terminal:

git clone git@github.com:howtographql/howtographql.git
cd howtographql
yarn install
yarn start # http://localhost:8000/

Note: If you're using Node 8, you might need to invoke npm install -g node-gyp before you're starting the app. More info here.

Troubleshooting

If you are having issues with sharp dependency, please make sure you have installed >0.18.2 of it. Older versions have hardcoded dependency on a legacy artifactory.

To check the version you have, run: yarn why sharp.

If you are still having issues, please make sure that you have SHARP_DIST_BASE_URL environemnt variable set correctly (see .env file) and then run yarn install again.
