Installation

The starium.dev codebase has been updated to support docker. There is some fairly straightforward setup required to get it running.
Some of the benefits of this setup include: no more manual database imports, a simplified development environment, and your development environment will now more closely match the environment that is running on the server.
Please Note: There is an additional step required if you are using Windows 10 Home vs Windows 10 Pro.

Install Required Software

  1. Install the AWS CLI. Follow the instructions in the link below:
    https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2-windows.html#cliv2-windows-install
  2. Install Docker desktop.
    1. Click the link below to download the Docker desktop installer:
      https://download.docker.com/win/stable/Docker%20Desktop%20Installer.exe
    2. Run the installer. Note: If you are using Windows home, please follow the instructions here first.
  3. Run some tests to see if everything worked correctly.
    1. Open a new terminal.
    2. Test the AWS CLI:
      aws --version
      This should output a version number similar to:
      aws-cli/2.0.0 Python/3.7.4 Windows/10 botocore/2.0.0
      If you get an error, refer back to the installation instructions.
    3. Test Docker:
      docker run hello-world

Assuming the tests in step 3 ran without any issues, proceed to the next page to setup the Docker containers.
