Getting the project set up

1. If you are using Windows, you will need to install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) by following the instructions on this page. (The "Simplified Installation" section is probably easiest, but you need to join the Windows Insiders Program with a Microsoft account.)

   • If you are given a choice of what operating system to use, select Ubuntu 20.04.

2. Install Docker.

   • On Windows, make sure you've selected the "WSL 2 backend" tab under "System Requirements" and follow those instructions.
   • On Linux, also follow the instructions on "Manage Docker as a non-root user" here.

3. If you are using Windows, you'll need to open a terminal into the WSL system you installed. This is the terminal where you'll type in the rest of the commands in this section.

   1. To start the WSL terminal, open the start menu and type in "ubuntu". Click on the "Ubuntu 20.04" application. (We recommend pinning this to your taskbar to make it easier to find in the future.)
   2. Type in the command pwd, which shows what folder you're currently in. You should see /home/<your user name> printed. If it isn't, switch to your home directory using the command cd ~.

4. Clone the tces repo

git clone https://github.com/uoftblueprint/tces.git

5. Open docker desktop
6. cd into the tces project repo root folder and run docker compose build

cd tces
docker compose build

Useful docker commands

Note: each of these commands should be run in the tces project repo root folder

1. Starting both the frontend and backend app: docker compose up -d
2. Opening a terminal on the frontend (after running the container): docker exec -it react-app /bin/sh
   • After doing this you can install new dependencies using npm install <dependency_name>
   • Update the depnedencies after a pull npm i
3. Opening a terminaal on the backend (after running the container): docker exec -it express-app /bin/sh
   • After doing this you can install new dependencies using npm install <dependency_name>

4. Running the linter (frontend): docker compose run react-app npm run lint
5. Running the formatter (frontend): docker compose run react-app npm run format
6. Running the linter (backend): docker compose run express-app npm run lint
7. Running the formatter (backend): docker compose run express-app npm run format
8. Stopping the containers: docker compose stop
