  2. If you're familiar with how Rails works and are comfortable setting up your own environment, use our Discourse Advanced Developer Guide.

Before you get started, ensure you have the following minimum versions: Ruby 2.3+, PostgreSQL 9.3+, Redis 2.6+. If you're having trouble, please see our TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE first!
