There are two ways to run this application:

1. Setting up the development environment
2. Using Docker

Setting up the development environment

It is recommended to use ASDF Version Manager to automatically install required tools. This tool manages multiple runtime versions with a single CLI tool with support for Ruby, Node.js, Postgres, Yarn and much more. It is like nvm, pyenv, rbenv, etc. but in a single tool managed with plugins. For OS specific installation instructions please visit the ASDF Getting Started.

Or you can install required development tools yourself, see .tool-versions file for required versions.

Install required tools as ASDF plugins

If you don't have ASDF plugins installed, do so with the following commands:

asdf plugin add bun
asdf plugin add postgres
asdf plugin add ruby

Required versions are defined in .tool-versions file:

bun 1.1.8
postgres 16.3
ruby 3.3.1

To install required versions run in the project root directory:

asdf install

Install Application dependencies

After installing required tools, you can install application dependencies.

Install Ruby gems with Bundler:

bundle install

Install Node.js packages with Bun:

bun install

Setup the database

Start the PostgreSQL server:

pg_ctl start

Create the database, load the schema, and initialize it with seed data:

rails db:setup
