WhyDRS is a free educational resource about the financial markets in the United States – specifically direct registration, a method of personal ownership available to everyone but rarely used. Keeping long investments in your own name - with the SEC approved Direct Registration System - provides multiple benefits and safeties not available through other means.
To begin development on the documentation, you will first need to install the following:
- Node.js (v19, not higher): see https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager for details for your system
- npm: e.g.
sudo apt install npm
on Ubuntu - yarn:
npm install yarn
Once all the prerequisites have been installed, you can run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/whydrs/dao-docs
cd dao-docs
npm run start
This will begin the development server, and open a browser window/tab pointing
to http://localhost:3000/docs/
. This development server will auto-reload when
it detects changes to the repository.
