# Setting up a dev environment
## Assumptions
You have a package manager, and your system is systemd-based.
## Prerequisites
### Nodejs
Mastodon development requires the following:
Install nodejs via your package manager. We used v19.1.0 for this setup.
- Ruby 3.0
- Ruby gems:
- `bundler`
- `irb`
- `foreman`
- NodeJS v18 (LTS)
- NPM packages:
- `yarn`
- Postgres
- Redis
### Ruby
### macOS
Install ruby via your package manager of choice.
First, make sure you have Homebrew installed. Follow the instructions at
[brew.sh](https://brew.sh).
### Ruby Extras
Run the following to install all necessary packages:
```
brew install ruby@3.0 foreman node yarn postgresql redis
```
Your distro may package `bundle` and `irb` in separate packages (Arch does). If they are, install them too.
On Arch these are `ruby-bundler` and `ruby-irb`.
Ruby 3.0 is **keg-only** by default. Follow the instructions in the **Caveat**
to add it to your path.
### PostGreSQL
### Linux
Install postgres via your package manager.
We will assume that you know how to locate the correct packages for your distro.
That said, some distros package `bundler` and `irb` separately. Make sure that
you also install these.
### Redis
On Arch, you will need:
Install redis via your package manager.
- `ruby`
- `ruby-bundler`
- `ruby-irb`
- `ruby-foreman`
Enable and start the default `redis.service`
### Windows
## Setting up the Environment
Unfortunately, none of the authors use Windows. Contributions welcome!
In the following instructions, replace USER with your *nix user name.
## Database
1. Add yourself to the postgres group with `sudo usermod -a -G postgres USER`. You'll need to log out and back in to
update your groups.
2. Navigate to the root of this repo.
2. Set up a local DB cluster with `pg_ctl -D data/postgres15 initdb -o '-U mastodon --auth-host=trust'`.
3. Add the line `unix_socket_directories='.'` to `data/postgres15/postgresql.conf`.
4. Run the DB with `pg_ctl -D data/postgres15 start`.
5. Run `bundle config set --local path 'vendor/bundle`. This will store the all the ruby gems locally so that we can
avoid interfering with system config.
6. Run `bundle install`.
7. Run `yarn install`.
8. Run `bundle exec rake db:setup`. If this fails, you can use `bundle exec rake db:reset` to forcibly regenerate it.
In the root of this repository, go through the following script:
```sh
# Create a folder for local data
mkdir -p data
# Set up a local database
pg_ctl -D data/postgres initdb -o '-U mastodon --auth-host=trust'
# Use the data/postgres folder for the DB connection unix socket
#
# If you don't know what that means, it's just a way for Mastodon to communicate
# with a database on the same machine efficiently.
#
# See: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man7/unix.7.html
echo 'unix_socket_directories = .' >> data/postgres/postgresql.conf
# Start the database
pg_ctl -D data/postgres start --silent
```
## Redis
In the root of this repository, run the following:
```sh
# Start Redis
redis-server ./redis-dev.conf
# [Optional] Stop Redis
kill "$(cat ./data/redis/redis-dev.pid)"
```
## Ruby
```sh
export RAILS_ENV=development
# Bundle installs all Ruby gems globally by default, which might cause problems.
bundle config set --local path 'vendor/bundle'
# [Apple Silicon] If using macOS on Apple Silicon, run the following:
# bundle config build.idn-ruby -- --with-idn-dir="$(brew --prefix libidn)"
# Install dependencies using bundle (Ruby) and yarn (JS)
bundle install
yarn install
# Setup the database using the pre-defined Rake task
#
# Rake is a command runner for Ruby projects. The `bundle exec` ensures that
# we use the version of Rake that this project requires.
bundle exec rake db:setup
# [Optional] If that fails, run the following and try again:
# bundle exec rake db:reset
```
## Running Mastodon
1. To make our lives easier, we'll use `foreman` to run the site, so use `gem install foreman`.
2. Run `export RAILS_ENV=development` and `export NODE_ENV=development`.
1. Run `export RAILS_ENV=development NODE_ENV=development`.
a. Put these in your shell's .rc, or a script you can source if you want to skip this step in the future.
3. Run `bundle exec rake assets:precompile`.
a. If this explodes, complaining about `Hash`, you'll need to `export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider`. Same
deal as the above.
b. After doing this, you will need to `bundle exec rake assets:clobber` and then re-run
2. Run `bundle exec rake assets:precompile`.

4. Run `foreman start`
3. Run `foreman start`
