Vaidehi Joshi 8a11872472 Add more information about using Elasticsearch to docs (#6046 ) It was unclear to me that I explicitly needed Elasticsearch in order for certain tests to run locally. We should specify that in the docs. Also added a note about installing `wget`, which is required to install Elasticsearch in our docs.		2020-02-12 13:23:10 -08:00

Installation Guide

There are many different ways you can install the development environment so you can help contribute code to DEV.

Installing locally

You can install DEV to your local machine and we have instructions for Mac, Windows and Linux.

Running Docker

Installing to your local machine can be troublesome for many reasons such as a conflicting database and runtime versions.

Another way you can get a development environment up and running is with Docker. Docker will install everything you need in an isolated container, and you need not concern about the details. We have instructions for installing with Docker.

GitPod - beginner friendly!

If you are having trouble with local installation and Docker confuses you, then you can launch a development environment with the press of a button with GitPod.

GitPod is an IDE in the cloud which is also attached to a web server. It will install everything you need. If you are comfortable doing everything from a web browser, then we have instructions for installing with GitPod as well.
