First of all - you are very welcome to contribute, Memcode is a joint effort.
Feel free to ask questions/propose features in github issues, or join our developer Slack (please write to [email protected] to request access).

Note: if you'd like to use online development environment, see Gitpod.md. The steps below are for the local setup.

1. Install PostgreSQL.
2. Go to postgres console: psql postgres.
3. Create a postgres user with password: CREATE ROLE postgres WITH LOGIN PASSWORD postgres;.
4. Give the user a permission to create dbs, own all extensions, etc.: ALTER ROLE postgres with superuser;.

1. Either copy the example environment file with cp env.example.js env.js, and insert the required values yourself,
2. Or write to [email protected] and I will send you a ready env.js file. In either case, you will need to insert your own DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD that you created in the previous step.

1. Install npm.
2. Run npm install

1. Create a new development database 'memcode': make db-reset. This will create the raw database for you - schema, a few necessary database rows, and nothing else. If you would like a bigger database to have something to work with, please write to [email protected], and I will create a development dump for you.

1. Run make all in your terminal. This will start:

• make backend-webpack (compiles the backend code on every change)
• make frontend-webpack (compiles the frontend code on every change)
• make start (starts the node server) for you.
  You can also run these separately if you wish to see the individual output.

2. Go to http://localhost:3000, and enjoy the development!
