RAILS ANNOTATE GEM HOW TO

Thanks to Vagrant, there's no need to figure out if you have the correct version of Ruby, or if Rails is up-to-date, or even how to install nginx, thin, or any of the other bits and pieces that make up Discourse. It does this through the magic of Vagrant, another free open-source tool which is used to both package and initialize a VM with all the necessary configurations in place. Discourse maintains all the information necessary to wire up a VM within the Discourse codebase itself! With VirtualBox installed, it's now time to bring a VM to life. VMs are hungry and eat ram like Hippos eat marbles. To do so, change your system's DISCOURSE_VM_MEM environment variable to the desired amount of memory.Īlso, we recommend a development machine with about 8 GB of physical memory. But this is the practical minimum - performance will be a lot better if you can ramp the VM memory up to 2 GB or even 4 GB. The VM image we set up defaults to 1 GB of memory, which makes it friendly to run on 4 GB machines. In a perfect world, your secondary disk would also be a SSD! If you can, try keeping your working directory (of Discourse and the VM) off of the primary disk.

The more your primary disk is tied up, contending between the management of resources necessary to run VirtualBox and the emulated resources inside the VM, the slower your performance is going to be.

If you install VirtualBox to run from your primary drive, and you run a VM that also resides on that primary drive, they're going to fight for hard drive resources. You can get big improvements in VM speeds by moving from traditional disks to a solid state drive. There's a performance cost to this emulation, a little in CPU and memory, but mostly in disk I/O. After you've downloaded and installed it, there are a couple of things to know which will help your VM's performance.

Download a copy from the VirtualBox site here:Īs of this writing, 4.3.26 is the latest and works for us. It's free, open source, and runs on Windows, Linux, Mac and Solaris. For us, the path of least resistance lies in the safety of a Virtual Machine, a doorway into an entirely different operating system. Step 1: VirtualBoxįor those who don't do it on a regular basis, It can be intimidating to set up a *nix flavored environment. This is our first guide to setting up a local Ruby on Rails environment, custom tailored to begin dabbling in Discourse. We were there once! Sometimes diving into a new language and codebase can make you feel like this:ĭiscourse has a great, supportive community on GitHub and meta.discourse, and we're here to help.

If you're a developer, but have never touched Ruby on Rails, we understand how you feel. The Discourse Vagrant development install is not longer supported and maintained.Ĭurrent development install guides can be found at for Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu.
