  • Node 18.0.0 or higher

Prerequisite

  • Install Node - https://nodejs.org/en
  • Install pnpm - https://pnpm.io/installation
    • If you are on a Mac, there is an issue with the curl install.
    • Preferably, use homebrew to install:
      • brew install pnpm
  • Install mysql or use docker with the provided docker-compose.yml file.

This site uses MySQL via Prisma, so you will need a valid MySQL connection string.

Getting Started

Without Docker

Have your database connection string handy.

  1. pnpm install
  2. pnpm preheat
  3. pnpm dev

That's it!

With Docker

  1. Read Prerequisites above ^^ before starting
  2. Copy .env.example to .env and specify env variables (needs at least DATABASE_URL, see here for how to get the others)
    • If using Docker, add the following at the top of your .env file to share variables with the docker-compose.yml (replace the existing DATABASE_URL with the one below)
      # required to run the seed commands within the container
      DOCKER=true
      # any value other than "true" is considered false
      DATABASE_HOST=localhost
      DATABASE_PORT=3306
      DATABASE_USER=syntax
      DATABASE_PASSWORD=syntax
      DATABASE_NAME=syntax
      DATABASE_ROOT_PASSWORD=syntax
      DATABASE_URL=mysql://${DATABASE_USER}:${DATABASE_PASSWORD}@${DATABASE_HOST}:${DATABASE_PORT}/${DATABASE_NAME}

      REDIS_HTTP_PORT=8079
