# Getting started
|
|
|

You do not need any computer skills, smarts, or anything of that nature. You are very capable as you have made it this far. Some basic understanding how a terminal, git, and or Node.js is a bonus, but that does not limit you to getting streetmerchant running!

|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- [git](https://git-scm.com/)
|
|
- Either [Node.js 14](https://nodejs.org/en/) or [Docker (1.13.0+)](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) (advanced users)
|
|
|

Community based help can also be found on the [wiki](https://github.com/jef/streetmerchant/wiki). Feel free to check that out if you're having problems running. If you're still having problems running, you're probably not the first. Make some searches through the [GitHub issues](https://github.com/jef/streetmerchant/issues) before making one.

|
## Customization
|
|
|
|
To customize streetmerchant, make a copy of `dotenv-example` as `dotenv` and make any changes to your liking. View [Reference](reference/application.md) for more information on variables and their usage.
|
|
|
|
???+ tip
|
|
All environment variables are optional.
|
|
|
|
## For developers
|
|
|
|
### Developing in Node.js
|
|
|
|
The command `npm run start:dev` can be used instead of `npm run start` to automatically restart the project when filesystem changes are detected in the `src/` folder or `dotenv` file.
|
|
|
|
Use `npm run lint` to see any linting uses and `npm run lint:fix` to automatically fix the issues it can.
|
|
|
|
### Developing in Docker
|
|
|
|
#### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- [Docker (1.13.0+)](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
|
|
- [GNU Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/)
|
|
- Optional, but increases quality of life
|
|
- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
|
|
- Depending on your system, you may already have this. Check before installing.
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
1. Make a copy of `dotenv-example` and name it `dotenv`.
|
|
1. Edit the `dotenv` file to your liking using a text editor (like [vscode](https://code.visualstudio.com/)).
|
|
1. If you're using `make`, you can run `make run` to start and `make stop` to stop.
|
|
1. There are more options in the `Makefile`, feel free to explore.
|
|
1. If you do not have `make`, you can run `docker-compose` directly:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# To start
|
|
# Use `-d` if you want to run in detached mode
|
|
# Use `--build` if you want to build the image before running (default image is latest in GitHub Container Registry).
|
|
docker-compose up
|
|
|
|
# To break down
|
|
docker-compose down
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
???+ note
|
|
If you are using `WEB_PORT`, then you will need to add the following to docker-compose:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ports:
|
|
- "<WEB_PORT>:<WEB_PORT>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `<WEB_PORT>` with the value you gave in your `dotenv`.
