First you must somehow get the files to your machine. Below outlines two options.
Using Boldr-CLI:
yarn global --add boldr-cli
boldr-cli init
cd boldr-api
yarn
mv boldrrc.example .boldrrcUsing git:
git clone [email protected]:boldr/boldr-api.git <DIR_NAME>
cd <DIR_NAME>
yarn
mv boldrrc.example .boldrrcBoldrAPI requires a Postgres database and a Redis server to connect to. Using the docker-compose.yml file
included in the repo is the quickest way.
docker-compose up --build -d starts the necessary services (postgres and redis).
Ensure the database is setup with the proper tables and seed data.
Use the command yarn migrate && yarn seed.
