  1. Fork doubtfire-deploy:development, doubtfire-api:development, and doubtfire-web:development from https://github.com/doubtfire-lms

  2. Clone your doubtfire-deploy. Make sure to fetch submodules to get the subprojects.

    git clone -b development --recurse-submodules https://github.com/[your_github_username]/doubtfire-deploy

  3. Change directory to doubtfire-deploy by using: cd doubtfire-deploy. Open a Terminal that supports sh scripts (on Windows, you will need WSL, Msys2, or Cygwin). Run the following command to set your fork as the remote.

    Terminal window
    bash ./change_remotes.sh

  4. Change into the development directory and use Docker Compose to setup the database.

    Terminal window
    cd development
    docker compose up -d
    docker compose run --rm doubtfire-api bash -c "bundle exec rails db:
    environment:set RAILS_ENV=development && bundle exec rake db:populate"

  5. Change into the development directory and use Docker Compose to setup the database. Run in the development folder

    Terminal window
    docker compose up -d
