To get a local setup you will need Go and npm. On Linux, it is recommended to use nvm. On Mac, you should be able to brew install npm.

After getting the prereqs, you can run the following to get a local dev setup:

make dev-setup

This will take a while depending on your system to compile all of the Node dependencies needed to build the frontend application.

Use the Makefile

To build everything, simply run:

• make

To build the media only:

• make media

To build the Go binary only:

• make build

RethinkDB is used for the database. You can use Docker to run a local database. Quorra will create an initial admin user and will output a random password in the console. To run a local RethinkDB instance using Docker:

docker run -ti --restart=always --name db -P rethinkdb

You can then run docker ps to get the port for Quorra. You will need the allocated port for the container port 28015.

Once the database is started you can run the app. Use the high port from the RethinkDB container as the argument to the controller:

./cmd/quorra/quorra -D serve

You should then be able to access Quorra on port 8080.
