Create a database postgres user with a password.

  2. Go to postgres console: psql postgres.
  3. Create a postgres user with password: CREATE ROLE postgres WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'postgres';.
  4. Give the user a permission to create dbs, own all extensions, etc.: ALTER ROLE postgres with superuser;.

Copypaste environment variables.

  1. Copy the example environment file with cp env.example.js env.js
  2. Insert the necessary values - all those marked with "Required for local development"

Install the needed libraries.

  1. Install npm.
  2. Run npm install

Set up the database.

  1. Create a new development database 'memcode': make db-reset.
    This will create the raw database for you - schema and a few necessary database rows.

Start code compilers and server.

  1. Run make all in your terminal. This will start:
  • make backend-webpack (compiles the backend code on every change)
  • make frontend-webpack (compiles the frontend code on every change)
  • make start (starts the node server) for you.
    You can also run these separately if you wish to see the individual output.
  1. Go to http://localhost:3000, and enjoy the development!
