# Discourse Advanced Developer Install Guide
|
|
|
|
This guide is aimed at advanced Rails developers who have installed their own Rails apps before.
|
|
|
|
Note: If you are developing on a Mac, you will probably want to look at [these instructions](DEVELOPMENT-OSX-NATIVE.md) as well.

# Preparing a fresh Ubuntu install
|
|
|
|
To get your Ubuntu 16.04 LTS install up and running to develop Discourse and Discourse plugins follow the commands below. We assume an English install of Ubuntu.
|
|
|
|
# Basics
|
|
whoami > /tmp/username
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server
|
|
sudo apt-get -yqq update
|

# Ruby
|
|
curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg2 --import -
|
|
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
|
|
echo 'gem: --no-document' >> ~/.gemrc
|
|
|
|
# exit the terminal and open it again to activate RVM
|
|
|
|
rvm install 2.3.4
|
|
rvm --default use 2.3.4 # If this error out check https://rvm.io/integration/gnome-terminal
|
|
gem install bundler mailcatcher
|
|
|
|
# Postgresql
|
|
sudo -u postgres -i
|
|
createuser --superuser -Upostgres $(cat /tmp/username)
|
|
psql -c "ALTER USER $(cat /tmp/username) WITH PASSWORD 'password';"
|
|
exit
|
|
|
|
# Node
|
|
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.2/install.sh | bash
|
|
|
|
# exit the terminal and open it again to activate NVM
|
|
|
|
nvm install node
|
|
nvm alias default node
|
|
npm install -g svgo
|
|
|
|
|
|
If everything goes alright, let's clone Discourse and start hacking:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git ~/discourse
|
|
cd ~/discourse
|
|
bundle install
|
|
|
|
# run this if there was a pre-existing database
|
|
bundle exec rake db:drop
|
|
RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake db:drop
|
|
|
|
# time to create the database and run migrations
|
|
bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate
|
|
RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate
|
|
|
|
# run the specs (optional)
|
|
bundle exec rake autospec # CTRL + C to stop
|
|
|
|
# launch discourse
|
|
bundle exec rails s -b 0.0.0.0 # open browser on http://localhost:3000 and you should see Discourse
|
|
|
|
Create an admin account with:
|
|
|
|
bundle exec rake admin:create
|
|
|
|
If you ever need to recreate your database:
|
|
|
|
bundle exec rake db:drop db:create db:migrate
|
|
bundle exec rake admin:create
|
|
RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake db:drop db:create db:migrate
|
|
|
|
Discourse does a lot of stuff async, so it's better to run sidekiq even on development mode:
|
|
|
|
mailcatcher # open http://localhost:1080 to see the emails, stop with pkill -f mailcatcher
|
|
bundle exec sidekiq # open http://localhost:3000/sidekiq to see queues
|
|
bundle exec rails server
|
|
|
|
And happy hacking!
