Dev Environment Setup Guide

Software prerequisites:

Clone the repo where ever you want on your computer using git clone https://github.com/uw-midsun/strategy_xv.git) (don’t need to repeat this step unless setting up)
Run Docker Desktop
Open the repo in an IDE
In a terminal/shell inside the IDE, go to the /database folder and run docker-compose up to start the database. The database credentials are username=user, password=password, and root password=root. The database will be running on 3306:3306 and is called midsun_dev_db
Run python seed.py in the /database folder to seed the database
CREATE VID TO SHOW HOW TO CONNECT TO DATABASE
Once you’re done with your dev work, stop docker by running docker-compose down in the /database folder
Stop all your processes
Exit docker desktop (in the taskbar)

Open a WSL terminal (open start menu then type in WSL, it has a penguin icon)
Go to your base directory by running cd once

Stop all your processes, close all your WSL windows and close your IDE
Exit docker desktop (in the taskbar)
Open the command prompt and run wsl --shutdown to stop WSL (otherwise it’ll eat up your RAM). Open task manager, sort by memory usage, and make sure there is no “vmmem” process
