Development environment without Docker

> This has been tested on Mac OS and works really well. If you are using Linux/Windows/WSL, you might need to install some additional dependencies. - [Fork the repository](https://github.com/captableinc/captable/fork) - Clone the repository ```bash git clone https://github.com//captable.git ``` - Copy `.env.example` to `.env` ```bash cp .env.example .env ``` - Install latest version of node and pnpm - Install latest version of postgres database - Install [mailpit](https://mailpit.axllent.org/docs/install/) for SMTP and email interception - Create database `captable` in postgres database - Update `.env` file's `DATABASE_URL` with database credentials - For a quick start, you can use [Supabase database](https://supabase.com/) or [Neon](https://neon.tech/) as well. - To simulate file storage locally, install `minio` via homebrew or any other package manager. ```bash brew install minio ``` Once minio is installed run ```bash minio server start --console-address ":9002" ``` This will start minio server
minio api will be available on `http://127.0.0.1:9000` and
minio web gui will be available on `http://127.0.0.1:9002`. once you see these endpoint in terminal, update the following `.env`: ```bash UPLOAD_ENDPOINT="http://127.0.0.1:9000" # should match minio api server's endpoint NEXT_PUBLIC_UPLOAD_DOMAIN="http://127.0.0.1:9000" # should match minio api server's endpoint UPLOAD_REGION="us-east-1" # don't change it UPLOAD_ACCESS_KEY_ID="minioadmin" # by default minio username is "minioadmin" UPLOAD_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="minioadmin" # by default minio password is "minioadmin" UPLOAD_BUCKET_PUBLIC="captable-public-bucket" UPLOAD_BUCKET_PRIVATE="captable-private-bucket" ``` after this, go to minio web gui(`http://127.0.0.1:9002`) and login:
username: `minioadmin`
password: `minioadmin` and create two buckets with the name:
`captable-public-bucket` and `captable-private-bucket`,
this should match `UPLOAD_BUCKET_PUBLIC` and `UPLOAD_BUCKET_PRIVATE` env's values. and you should be done with minio setup. - Run the following command to install dependencies ```bash pnpm install ``` - Run the following command to migrate and seed the database ```bash pnpm db:migrate pnpm db:seed ``` - Run the following command to start the development server ```bash pnpm dev # On a different terminal, run the following command to start the mail server pnpm email:dev ``` - App will be running on [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) - Emails will be intercepted: [http://localhost:8025](http://localhost:8025) - SMTP will be on PORT `http://localhost:1025` - Postgres will be on PORT `http://localhost:5432` - Frequently used commands - `pnpm dev` - Start the development server - `pnpm email:dev` - Start the mail server - `pnpm db:migrate` - Run database migrations - `pnpm db:seed` - Seed the database
