## Getting Started 🚀
Follow these instructions to get a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
You can find everything on the [documentation](https://brain.quivr.app/).
### Prerequisites 📋
Ensure you have the following installed:
- Docker
- Docker Compose
Additionally, you'll need a [Supabase](https://supabase.com/) account for:
- Creating a new Supabase project
- Supabase Project API key
- Supabase Project URL
### Installation Steps 💽
- **Step 0**: If needed, the installation is explained on Youtube [here](https://youtu.be/rC-s4QdfY80)
- **Step 1**: Clone the repository using **one** of these commands:
- If you don't have an SSH key set up:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/StanGirard/Quivr.git && cd Quivr
```
- If you have an SSH key set up or want to add it ([guide here](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account))
```bash
git clone git@github.com:StanGirard/Quivr.git && cd Quivr
```
- **Step 2**: Use the install helper script to automate subsequent steps.
You can use the install_helper.sh script to setup your env files and execute the migrations.
prerequisites:
```bash
brew install gum # Windows (via Scoop) scoop install charm-gum
brew install postgresql # Windows (via Scoop) scoop install postgresql
```
```bash
chmod +x install_helper.sh
./install_helper.sh
```
If you want to manually set up the environment, follow the steps below, otherwise skip to Step 6.
- **Step 2 - Bis**: Copy the `.XXXXX_env` files
```bash
cp .backend_env.example backend/.env
cp .frontend_env.example frontend/.env
```
- **Step 3**: Update the `backend/.env` and `frontend/.env` file
> _Your `supabase_service_key` can be found in your Supabase dashboard under Project Settings -> API. Use the `anon` `public` key found in the `Project API keys` section._
> _Your `JWT_SECRET_KEY` can be found in your supabase settings under Project Settings -> API -> JWT Settings -> JWT Secret_
> _The `NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_URL` is set to localhost:5050 for the docker. Update it if you are running the backend on a different machine._
- Change variables in `backend/.env`
- Change variables in `frontend/.env`
- **Step 4**: Use the `migration.sh` script to run the migration scripts
```bash
chmod +x migration.sh
./migration.sh
```
Choose either `Create all tables` if it's your first time or `Run migrations`
if you are updating your database.
Alternatively, you can run the script on the Supabase database via the web
interface (SQL Editor -> `New query` -> paste the script -> `Run`)
All the scripts can be found in the [scripts](scripts/) folder
> _If you come from an old version of Quivr, run the scripts in [migration script](scripts/) to migrate your data to the new version in the order of date_
- **Step 5**: Launch the app
```bash
docker compose up --build
```
- **Step 6**: Navigate to `localhost:3000` in your browser
- **Step 7**: Want to contribute to the project?
```
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build
```
