Installation

This guide explains how to run Bracket without Docker. If you quickly want to get up and running, please read quickstart.md.

Database

First create a bracket cluster:

sudo pg_createcluster -u postgres -p 5532 13 bracket
pg_ctlcluster 13 bracket start

Subsequently, create a new bracket_dev database. First connect via sudo -Hu postgres psql -p 5532, and then run:

CREATE USER bracket_dev WITH PASSWORD 'bracket_dev';
CREATE DATABASE bracket_dev OWNER bracket_dev;

You can do the same but replace the user and database name with:

• bracket_ci: for running tests
• bracket_prod: for a production database

The database URL can be specified per environment in the .env files (see config).

Running the frontend and backend

The following starts the frontend and backend for local development:

Frontend

cd frontend
yarn
npm run dev

Backend

cd backend
pipenv install -d
pipenv shell
./run.sh
