Installation

Follow the steps below in order to setup our project locally.

For macOS users: You can try running make setup-mac in the root directory. That command will essentially do everything that this README tells you do to, but we can't guarantee that it works.

Complete installation for MacOS / Ubuntu

A Github Personal Access Token (PAT) is required to run this script. You can make one here https://github.com/settings/tokens/new. Tick scopes repo, read:org and admin:public_key), then store the token somewhere safe (Github will never show it again).

Copy these commands (press button on the right-hand side of the block) and run from the directory you would clone the project.

Non-interactive

read -s -p "Github PAT token: " TOKEN ; X_INTERACTIVE=n /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://$TOKEN@raw.githubusercontent.com/Samfundet/Samfundet/master/{bash_utils.sh,install.sh})" && . ~/.bash_profile && cd Samfundet ; unset TOKEN ; unset X_INTERACTIVE;

Interactive

read -s -p "Github PAT token: " TOKEN ; X_INTERACTIVE=y /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://$TOKEN@raw.githubusercontent.com/Samfundet/Samfundet/master/{bash_utils.sh,install.sh})" && . ~/.bash_profile && cd Samfundet ; unset TOKEN ; unset X_INTERACTIVE;

• X_INTERACTIVE (y/n) determines how many prompts you receive before performing an action.
• Fetches files {bash_utils.sh, install.sh} and runs bash.
• f: fail fast
• s: silent, no progress-meter
• S: show error on fail
• L: follow redirect

Clone

Clone our main repository:

git clone https://github.com/Samfundet/Samfundet.git

We also use two other repositories, SamfundetAuth and SamfundetDomain. These can be cloned with the following commands:

# SamfundetAuth
git clone https://github.com/Samfundet/SamfundetAuth.git

# SamfundetDomain
git clone https://github.com/Samfundet/SamfundetDomain.git

Dependencies

There are several dependencies needed to get Samfundet up and running. Note that RVM is a Ruby version manager used for handling different Ruby versions, but you can use others as well (like rbenv).

---

macOS:

1. Homebrew: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
2. imagemagick: brew install imagemagick
3. graphviz: brew install graphviz
4. RVM

---

---

Linux:

Option 1 (Automatic)

1. Go to your terminal preferences, and select your terminal profile. Go to the "Commands" tab and check "Run command as a login shell".

2. Make sure you have navigated to the project directory in the terminal. Then run the following script: (copy and paste into terminal)

   ./linux-prerequisites.sh

   This will make a script run, that will install a few dependencies for you. A restart is however required after running this script, so restart your computer before proceeding to step 3.

3. Navigate back to the project and run the following script:

   ./linux-setup-rvm.sh

   A restart is also required after running this script. Restart before proceeding to step 4.

4. Navigate back to the project and run the following script:

   ./linux-setup-database.sh

   After this script has completed, the project should be up and running!

Option 2 (Manual)

1. graphviz: sudo apt-get install graphviz
2. imagemagick: sudo apt-get install imagemagick
3. nodejs: sudo apt-get install nodejs
4. ubuntu_rvm
5. Source RVM: source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

We now have all dependencies installed, including RVM, so let's install Ruby 2.7.6. Run these two commands in succession:

rvm install 2.7.6 --movable
rvm use 2.7.6 --default

---

Setup database

We use PostgreSQL as our database. There are several ways it can be installed depending on your operating system.

---

Linux:

Option 1 (manually)

• Install PostgreSQL:

  sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev

• Create the PostgreSQL user:

  echo -e "CREATE USER samfundet WITH PASSWORD 'samfundet';\nALTER USER samfundet CREATEDB;" | sudo -u postgres psql

Option 2 (Docker)

1. Install Docker Engine and Docker Compose.
2. Start the database: docker-compose up -d
3. Install PostgreSQL: sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

---

---

macOS:

Option 1 (PostgreSQL macOS application)

• Install the PostgreSQL macOS application.

Option 2 (Docker)

1. Install Docker: brew cask install docker
2. Start the database: docker-compose up -d
3. Install PostgreSQL: brew install postgresql

---

Ruby dependencies (gems)

Samfundet depends on several Ruby dependencies called gems that are listed in our Gemfile. To install these, run

bundle install # or just 'bundle' or 'bundler'

Configure database

First, there are some configuration files that needs to be copied. Run

make copy-config-files

Then, setup the database with

bundle exec rails db:setup

Start the development server

You are now ready to start the server. Run

make run # which executes 'bundle exec rails server'

Git hooks

You can optionally add checks before commits et cetera through git/hooks. To apply them run

make git-hooks

This will add symbolic links in .git/hooks from the hooks dir.
