You need Docker, Node.js v10 and Yarn installed on your system.

Now follow the upcoming instructions.

# Clone the project:
$ git clone https://github.com/serlo/serlo.org.git
$ cd serlo.org

On Linux or macOS, just open a terminal and run the following commands:

$ cp docker-compose.dist.yml docker-compose.yml

On Windows, please add

127.0.0.1 de.serlo.localhost
127.0.0.1 en.serlo.localhost

to your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.txt file. Then run ipconfig /flushdns in cmd.exe and restart your browser.

On macOS:

$ sudo nano /etc/hosts

# add lines
127.0.0.1    de.serlo.localhost
127.0.0.1    en.serlo.localhost

# flush macOS DNS cache
$ sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

Run yarn to install the dependencies of all packages.

Run yarn start to start everything needed to run serlo.org locally. Now, open http://de.serlo.localhost:4567. Happy coding!

Interrupt the yarn start command to stop webpack and and run yarn stop:server to stop the docker containers.
