  2. Install dependencies with mix deps.get
  3. Source the environment variables in the .env file with source .env

To connect to the local server from the datafruits app, set the environment variable CHAT_SOCKET_URL to ws://localhost:4000/socket, in the .env file in the datafruits app.

$ cd ~/src/datafruits
$ echo "CHAT_SOCKET_URL=ws://localhost:4000/socket" >> .env
