# Installing a dev environment
By contributing to this project you agree to the [Code of Conduct](https://coralproject.net/code-of-conduct.html).
## Requirements
### System
- Any flavor of Linux, OSX or Windows
- 1GB memory (minimum)
- 5GB storage (minimum)
### Software
* [Node](https://nodejs.org/es/download/package-manager) v7 or later
* Mongo v3.2 or later
* Redis v3.2 or later
_Please be sure to check the versions of these requirements. Insufficient versions of these may lead to unexpected errors!_
## First time setup
### Installation
Navigate to a directory.
```
git clone https://github.com/coralproject/talk
cd talk
npm install
```
### Environmental Variables
Talk uses environmental variables for configuration. You can learn about them in the [README file](README.md).
## Workflows
### The server
Starting the server:
```
npm start
```
Browse to `http://localhost:3000` (or your custom port.)
### Building the front end
Our build process will build all front end components registered [here](https://github.com/coralproject/talk/blob/6052cac1d3494f8060325a88bb2ce03c88c2f94c/webpack.config.dev.js#L9-L15).
One time build:
```
npm build
```
Build, then rebuild when a file is updated (development build):
```
npm build-watch
```
### Testing
Run all tests once:
`
npm test
`
Run our end to end tests (will install Selenium and nightwatch):
`
npm run e2e
`
_Please ensure all tests are passing before submitting a PR!_
## Troubleshooting
##### Can't ping the redis server!
- Check that Redis Server is running.
- Check that TALK_REDIS_URL is set.
##### Authenticaiton doesn't work!
- Make sure Redis is the correct version.
